We are reminding businesses to make themselves aware of new declarations which will become mandatory for all truck movements entering the UK from the EU.
To prepare for these changes, which come into force on January 31, we are strongly advising clients to contact their EU suppliers as soon as possible and confirm whether their EU hauliers have UK ENS (Entry Summary Declaration) capabilities.
For road shipments, each consignment entering the UK will need an (ENS) submitted before arrival.
While this responsibility primarily lies with the road freight carriers, some smaller transport companies and independent operators without UK entities, such as independent EU-based hauliers, may face challenges in meeting the new requirements.
The customs agent will require additional information linked to the vehicle and load to be able to submit this declaration for you, which must be done through an approved UK customs system.
Our customs software is fully configured for road freight ENS declarations, which means we can submit declarations for any truck movement from the EU to the UK.
Large road transport companies with established UK operations and integrated customs software should be able to handle these declarations as part of their standard processes.
Please contact us if you have any questions or need further clarification – we are on hand to support road freight declarations to help shipments run smoothly.
