- From 1 September 2025, road and rail carriers moving goods into Northern Ireland or the EU from Great Britain should use Import Control System 2 (ICS2) for safety and security entry summary declarations.
- ICS2 replaces the Import Control System Northern Ireland (ICSNI).
- HMRC is aware of readiness issues with ICS2 implementation and is exploring options to support those not ready by allowing extra preparation time.
- Carriers not ready by 1 September should continue using ICSNI for ENS declarations.
- HMRC will confirm the latest date for ICSNI submissions, no later than the end of December 2025.
- Users of the Trader Support Service (TSS) do not need to register for ICS2 as TSS will handle this.
- For more information on ICS2, refer to Make an entry summary declaration using the Import Control System 2.
