CS2 Release 3 goes live on 3 June 2024.
Economic operators carrying goods by sea, inland waterways, road and rail will have to submit a complete Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) dataset to ICS2. This includes postal and express carriers who transport goods using these modes of transport as well as other parties, such as logistic providers issuing transport documents to their clients, and in certain circumstances also final consignees established in the EU, will have to submit ENS data to ICS2.
Key dates
Information relevant to the three transport modes
Deployment window by transport mode
Economic operators will have to request a deployment window from the EU Member State of EORI registration to connect to ICS2 within the legal timeframe.
How to prepare
To meet their ENS data filing obligations, operators will need to update their IT systems and business process and provide adequate training to their staff.
Additionally, they will have to run the mandatory self-conformance testing before their start of operation. For the detailed procedure, please check the Self-conformance testing Organisation document.
