Is your ENS filing process keeping up with ICS2 border operations?
For UK carriers and logistics providers moving road or rail freight into the EU, ICS2 is now part of everyday operations.
Descartes helps automate, validate and manage ENS filings across EU Member States - reducing manual effort, rejected declarations and border delay risk.
The ICS2 deadline has passed, the operational pressure has not
Following the phased rollout and transitional grace periods, ICS2 and its updated messaging requirements are fully operational. For carriers and logistics partners moving goods into the EU, the challenge is no longer preparing for ICS2. It is making sure ENS filings are accurate, complete and managed reliably across day-to-day operations.
In practice, ICS2 requirements can create pressure around:
More granular data requirements
New responsibilities for carriers and logistics partners
Higher risk of rejected filings, holds, delays and penalties
Increased scrutiny at EU borders and customs controls
Greater pressure to coordinate data with partners
