From 4 December 2024, shipments importing to or transiting the European Union, will be required additional elements and more detailed information to pass through customs.

The new regulations, the Import Control System 2 release 3, require updated shipping instructions to comply with the EU's latest standards for entry summary declarations (ENS).

It is important to note that the European Commission can reject ENS declarations for the lack of completeness and/or accuracy of the data.

Failure to provide complete or accurate data could result in the European Commission rejecting ENS declarations.

Should this occur, the cargo owner will be charged any resulting costs, such as delays or terminal fees.

Therefore, please familiarize yourself with the changes and possible consequences via the European Commission website.

As part of these updates, the following information is now mandatory:
• A 6-digit HS commodity code for all shipments.
• A complete and accurate commercial description of the goods.
• Full address details, including street name, number, PO box, city, postcode, and country for all involved parties.
• Additional details about all relevant parties, such as sellers, buyers, consignors, and consignees.
• EORI numbers for each party involved.

NOTE: The list is guidance and doesn’t provide any guarantee. For the full list of the updated requirements, regulations, and further information - please always refer to the website of the European Commission.

To avoid disruptions, Höegh Autoliners requires customers to submit the updated information related to ICS2 Release 3 immediately. Compliance with these new rules is crucial for smooth customs clearance and uninterrupted operations.

The deadline for submitting shipping instructions with the additional information depends on local practices.

Customers are advised to contact their local sales or customer service representatives for any further inquiries and specific submission deadlines.
