ICS2 implementation and some other EU and UK latest developments

This webinar recording, delivered by customs expert Anthony Buckley, examines several major regulatory changes affecting EU and UK customs and trade that took effect from 1 April 2025, essential viewing for customs and trade compliance professionals tracking ICS2 rollout, new border controls, and tariff developments.

Topics covered:

• The Import Control System 2 (ICS2): how the Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) and risk-flagging process work, the system's history and implementation challenges, and the phased go-live/deferral timeline for road, rail, air and postal traffic
• ICS2 filing time limits by mode of transport (sea containers, bulk sea cargo, near-country shipping, air, road and combined transport)
• What goods require an ENS and which are exempt, and the structure of an ENS filing
• The French Obligatory Electronic Envelope (ELO) for road freight, its link to ICS2, and its comparison to the UK's GVMS and Ireland's PBN system
• The new UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) requirement for EU and other European travellers, who is exempt, and how it works
• The Trump administration's newly announced US tariffs on EU goods, including the treatment of US-origin components, and their potential impact on manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW
