As part of the European Union’s (EU) effort to enhance supply chain security and risk assessment, the EU Import Control System 2 (ICS2) will apply to rail and road transport from 1 April 2025, in addition to the existing air, maritime, and inland waterway requirements.
To remain compliant, economic operators who are not ready by this date are strongly encouraged to contact the National Service Desk of the EU Member State (National Customs Authority) where their Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number is registered to request a deployment window as soon as possible before the go-live date scheduled for their transport mode. The deployment window is not automatically applicable by default, and requires a specific request issued by the Economic Operator.
This expansion builds upon existing requirements for air, maritime, and inland waterway shipments, creating a harmonised pre-arrival customs framework across all transport modes.
1 September 2025 is the day when ICS2 compliance becomes mandatory for all rail and road economic operators. Read more
