Dear Valued Clients
Please pay particular attention to certain data requirements for all clients moving cargo into EU countries.
The European Union (EU) is continuing to move towards a fully digital data-driven environment, and phase 2 of their new security screening system: Import Control System 2 (ICS2). Release 2 (ICS 2.2) is now live. The ICS2.2 implementation window is from March – October 2023.
How does ICS2.2 impact you?
Regardless of their value, all goods being transported by air to (or transiting via) the European Union states plus Northern Ireland, Switzerland and Norway are required to have complete line-item data to ensure security filing and approval. It means that if your shipment is missing key data, such as a detailed goods description (per commodity at line-item level) or an accurate Harmonized System (HS) code, EORI as applicable, the security filing cannot be submitted. Your goods cannot be loaded until ICS2.2 required information is made available and filing completed.
