(BRUSSELS) - A new import control system, reinforcing the EU Customs Union s first line of defence against security and safety threats posed by illicit traffic in goods across the EU s external borders, came into force Monday.
In its first phase, ICS2 will focus on postal and express consignments coming to or through the EU by air, before eventually being applied to all modes of cargo transport.
ICS2 is the new advance cargo risk management platform at the heart of the reform of the EU s Customs Pre-arrival Safety and Security programme. It will gradually replace the existing import control system in three releases between 15 March 2021 and 1 March 2024.
