ICS2 information

ICS2 information for Emma Systems customers

See link:ICS2 updates for latest update regarding ICS2 

ICS2 will affect the operations of every freight forwarder and ground handler, although the degree of impact may differ. Unlike the previous ICS regime, ICS2 places a more significant emphasis on freight forwarders. 

As a freight forwarder or cargo handler (any mode), it’s imperative that you comprehend and proactively determine your future needs in the ICS2 context.

On this page we have gathered useful information about what we at Emma Systems are doing to meet the new ICS2 requirments.

The development and implementation of ICS2 is an intricate process. We are actively engaging with central EU authorities and national customs bodies. However, please be aware that timelines are subject to change, specifications are still evolving, and adequate test environments are yet to be established.

Messages in blue are sent directly to EU and the Presentation message is sent to local customs in the country of off-loading of goods. 

In addition EU has functionality such as Invalidation and Consultation that will be evaluated based on our customers’ needs.
