Customs Declarations UK Launches ICS2 Declarations Support, Enabling Seamless EU Safety and Security Filings Across All Transport Modes

Platform Now Supports GB-to-EU and Intra-EU Movements with Guided Workflows and Flexible Pay-As-You-Go Pricing

UNITED KINGDOM – January 21, 2026

Customs Declarations UK (CDUK), a leading provider of cloud-based customs declaration software, today announced the launch of its ICS2 (Import Control System 2) solution. Following integration with the European Union's updated Import Control System, CDUK now enables businesses to file EU Entry Summary Declarations (ENS) across all transport modes, helping traders meet the EU's enhanced pre-arrival safety and security requirements with confidence and ease.

The ICS2 system, mandated by the European Union under the Union Customs Code, represents a fundamental shift in how safety and security data is collected for goods entering or transiting through the EU, Norway, Switzerland, and Northern Ireland. As of September 1, 2025, ICS2 became the sole system for managing advance cargo information across air, maritime, road, and rail transport, replacing the legacy ICS1 system entirely.

Comprehensive Coverage for All EU-Bound and Intra-EU Movements

Customs Declarations UK's ICS2 solution provides comprehensive support for businesses moving goods from Great Britain into the European Union, as well as for intra-EU movements where goods are transported from one EU Member State to another. This capability is critical for logistics providers, freight forwarders, carriers, and traders operating across multiple European jurisdictions who must comply with ICS2 requirements regardless of the shipment's origin or final destination within the EU customs territory.

"The implementation of ICS2 represents a significant evolution in EU customs compliance, and we recognized early on that our customers needed a solution that could handle the full complexity of these requirements" said Jawahir Lal Lund, CEO of Customs Declarations UK. "Whether you're shipping office equipment from Manchester to Rotterdam, or coordinating intra-EU movements between multiple Member States, our platform provides the same guided, validated filing experience that has made CDUK the trusted choice for thousands of UK customs declarations. We've designed this solution to remove the complexity from ICS2 compliance, allowing businesses to focus on moving goods efficiently rather than navigating regulatory requirements."

Built for Simplicity, Designed for Compliance

The CDUK ICS2 solution integrates seamlessly into the platform's existing customs declaration infrastructure, offering users a familiar, intuitive interface enhanced with ICS2-specific functionality:

• Step-by-step guided wizards that adapt to each shipment's transport mode and business model
• Support for all ICS2 filing types across air, maritime, road, and rail transport
• Real-time validation checks to ensure data completeness and accuracy before submission
• Reusable party and commodity profiles to streamline repeat filings
• Clone functionality to replicate previous declarations with minimal data re-entry
• Secure cloud-based architecture with full audit trail and status tracking
• Dedicated customer support and technical assistance
