Implementing the EU’s new ICS2 import declaration in road transport

What are the new customs safety and security requirements for road transport operators?

IRU, in close cooperation with the European Commission and several partner associations such as UPU, ECSA, CLECAT and ESC, has held a first webinar for its members on the implementation of the new Import Control System 2 (ICS2) in road goods transport.
