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.
