United Kingdom – Safety/security declarations for imports from the EU from 31.01.2025
If your business is involved in the transportation of goods to the UK, from 31st January you will be required to obtain a new declaration called ENS GB. With everchanging risks and the new reality of post-Brexit Britain, new regulation is going to be vital to control goods imported into the country. In this article, we’ll break down what the ENS declaration is, when it’s required, and how Move Expert’s new service can help you navigate these changes with ease.
What is ENS GB declaration?
ENS GB (Entry Summary Declaration) is a new type of required declaration summarizing details about the cargo being imported to the UK. It contains information such as:
- The type and quantity of goods
- The route and mode of transport
- Information about the consignor and consignee
The declarations need to be submitted before goods enter Great Britain from the EU and allow customs to identify any potential risks and streamline the processing of goods upon arrival.
When is the ENS GB Declaration Required?
The ENS GB declaration is mandatory for all goods entering Great Britain from the EU.
Empty vehicles: When traveling with an empty accompanied vehicle, no ENS GB is required unless the movement is part of a transport contract.
ENS GB is not required if the haulier drives their own empty lorry back after delivering goods to the UK. However, ENS GB will be required when the haulier is moving an empty lorry back on behalf of a logistics company. In that case, the vehicle itself will be considered as cargo in the declaration.
