CERTEX in practice: What changes in your customs clearance process?

Team Koring
CERTEX is transforming EU customs clearance — Koring helps you stay ahead.
With the introduction of CERTEX, customs authorities now automatically verify certificates and permits during the clearance process. This means faster processing, but also stricter data checks and less room for error.
Koring supports importers with accurate declarations, proactive coordination and full compliance, ensuring smooth and predictable customs clearance — even under evolving EU regulations.

ICS2 (Import Control System 2): How it affects EU imports and how to avoid delays

Team Koring

ICS2 is now a mandatory requirement for all companies shipping goods into the European Union. It requires detailed and accurate advance cargo data, submitted through the Entry Summary Declaration (ENS), so EU customs can assess risks before goods arrive. Incomplete or incorrect data can lead to delays, cargo holds, or denied loading.

ICS2 shifts responsibility for compliance to all supply chain parties, especially importers and freight forwarders, making early and accurate data submission essential. Koring Freight Forwarders supports customers by proactively managing ENS data and customs compliance, helping prevent delays, reduce costs, and ensure smooth EU imports.

EU ETS & CBAM in shipping | Carbon‑Smart logistics by Koring

Team Koring
The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) puts a price on carbon emissions and now applies to maritime transport, making carbon costs a permanent part of ocean freight rates. Closely linked to this, CBAM extends carbon pricing to goods imported into the EU from 2026. Together, these measures directly impact freight costs, landed prices and supply‑chain decisions.
Koring Freight Forwarders helps businesses understand, manage and clearly communicate these carbon‑related logistics costs.

Incoterms in practice: Why the right choice matters for your transport and costs

Team Koring
Incoterms determine who pays, who carries risk and who is responsible for transport and customs.
A wrong Incoterm can lead to delays, hidden costs and disputes. Koring helps importers and exporters choose the right Incoterms in practice — aligned with transport, customs clearance and documentation — so shipments run smoothly, costs stay predictable and responsibilities are clear from origin to destination.
