ICS / ENS Declaration

UK to EU Customs Compliance by RENSAT

RENSAT offers expert services to help businesses in the UK comply with the EU’s Import Control System 2 (ICS2) and submit accurate Entry Summary Declarations (ENS). With teams in both the UK and France, we provide full support for cross-border customs compliance, ensuring smooth movement of goods into the European Union.

What Is ICS2?

Import Control System 2 (ICS2) is the European Union’s new safety and security framework for imports. It requires all goods entering the EU from outside countries (such as the UK) to be declared in advance via an Entry Summary Declaration (ENS). This declaration gives EU customs authorities time to assess risk before goods arrive.

ICS2 & ENS Declarations – Services by RENSAT

Businesses exporting from the UK to the EU must comply with ICS2 by submitting a valid ENS to the EU customs system before goods reach the border. RENSAT supports you with:

    • Preparation and electronic submission of ENS declarations
    • Filing to the correct EU Member State (first point of entry)
    • Review and validation of all data to ensure accuracy and compliance
    • Coordination with supply chain partners to collect and verify required information
    • Communication with customs authorities on your behalf

Required Documents & Data for ENS / ICS2 Declarations

To submit an ENS under ICS2, specific documents and data elements are required. RENSAT will help gather and validate the following:

📄 Essential Documents and Information:

    • Commercial Invoice
    • Packing List
    • Haulier’s EU-registered EORI number is required for ICS2
