Customs Declarations UK (CDUK), a leading provider of cloud-based customs declaration software, announced the launch of its ICS2 (Import Control System 2) solution. Following integration with the European Union’s updated Import Control System, CDUK now enables businesses to file EU Entry Summary Declarations (ENS) across all transport modes, helping traders meet the EU’s enhanced pre-arrival safety and security requirements with confidence and ease.
The ICS2 system, mandated by the European Union under the Union Customs Code, represents a fundamental shift in how safety and security data is collected for goods entering or transiting through the EU, Norway, Switzerland, and Northern Ireland. As of September 1, 2025, ICS2 became the sole system for managing advance cargo information across air, maritime, road, and rail transport, replacing the legacy ICS1 system entirely.
Comprehensive Coverage for All EU-Bound and Intra-EU Movements
Customs Declarations UK’s ICS2 solution provides comprehensive support for businesses moving goods from Great Britain into the European Union, as well as for intra-EU movements where goods are transported from one EU Member State to another. This capability is critical for logistics providers, freight forwarders, carriers, and traders operating across multiple European jurisdictions who must comply with ICS2 requirements regardless of the shipment’s origin or final destination within the EU customs territory.
