Starting April 1, 2025, the EU’s Import Control System 2 (ICS2), designed to enhance goods security, will require road hauliers, postal/express carriers, and logistics providers to submit pre-arrival customs data, with certain obligations also falling on EU-based final recipients. Businesses must prepare by updating systems, training staff, and completing self-compliance tests before the deadline to avoid border delays, and should contact their national customs authority by March 1, 2025 if they need a deployment window.
