ICS2 New data requirements for goods brought into the EU by road transport
If you are transporting goods (including postal consignments) into or via the EU, Northern Ireland, Norway, or Switzerland by road, you will have to submit new safety and security data prior to the goods’ arrival. The data has to be lodged in the EU’s new advance cargo information system – Import Control System 2 (ICS2), which replaces ICS1 and the New Computerised Transit System (NCTS) P4/5. These requirements, effective from 1 April 2025, also apply to e-commerce businesses.
