What is ENS?
ENS (Entry Summary Declaration)
The ENS (Entry Summary Declaration) is a pre-arrival notification that provides customs authorities with advance information about goods being imported into the UK. It is required to assess security risks and ensure that goods comply with customs regulations before they enter the country.
Starting from 31 January 2025, the UK government will require ENS submissions for all goods imported from the European Union into Great Britain. The aim of this is to enhance border security- by providing advance information on incoming goods this allows for better risk assessment and management.
