Description: ICS 2 stands for Import Control System 2. It is a new system that the European Union (EU) is implementing to improve the security of goods entering the EU. ICS 2 will require all businesses that import goods into the EU to provide advance cargo information to customs authorities. Additional information: The Import Control System 2 (ICS 2) is a significant upgrade from the previous system, aiming to enhance the security of goods entering the European Union. It mandates businesses importing goods into the EU to provide detailed advance cargo information to customs authorities. This information includes specifics about the goods, the importer, and the shipper. The system is designed to streamline the process of importing goods into the EU while ensuring a high level of security. Example: For instance, a company importing electronics from China into the EU would need to provide advance information about the type and quantity of electronics, details about the company, and information about the shipping company to the customs authorities via the ICS 2 system. This information would then be used to assess the security risk of the shipment and determine the appropriate customs procedures.
