Recently, the shipping company OOCL announced that from June 3, 2024, the EU's new customs pre-entry security system-Import Control System 2 (ICS2) will be implemented for ships passing sea, inland waterways, roads and railways. New procedures have been introduced for cargo entering the EU’s 27 destination ports as well as Norway, Switzerland and Northern Ireland.
This is the third phase of the implementation of the ICS2 system, which extends the requirement to submit information to all modes of transportation.
