Key changes include:
- House BL filing
- Increased data requirements: Shippers and consignees must now share specific details like names,
- addresses, and EORI numbers. Additionally, information about buyers and sellers is necessary.
- Data submission options: This data can be submitted in a single declaration (Full ENS) by the carrier
- or in parts (Partial ENS) by different parties involved in the supply chain.
- More precise product information: A six-digit HS code and a detailed cargo description are now
- mandatory, replacing the less specific four-digit HS code or basic description used previously.
- HS Code Segregation: To fulfil EU customs requirements and ensure clean data in manifests, all HS
codes must be segregated based on cargo items. This will enable Customs to perform a complete risk
assessment on cargo entering ICS2 countries’ territories. - Stop Word List: Please refer to the attached “STOP WORD” document issued by the EU Commission.
These are terms that are not permitted to be used in the cargo Description ( first line of Commodity ) .
Kindly review the stop words and ensure that they are replaced with appropriate alternatives wording.
