New data requirements for inbound/transfer cargo to or through the European Union- Advanced Data for the European Union ICS2 Effective March 1, 2023, the European Union (EU) is introducing new shipping requirements for cargo risk assessment. Specifically, air freight shipments traveling to or through the EU, Switzerland, Norway, and Northern Ireland, will require additional information prior to shipping. This is to comply with the EU’s Import Control System 2 (ICS2), a new, large-scale customs electronic import system intended to enhance safety initiatives and simplify information exchanges. This means that paperwork must be completed before the shipment can be loaded. Please contact your shipper, airlines, etc. for additional information.
