As part of its phased approach to introducing full frontier controls, HMRC confirm that on the 1^st July it will be mandatory to submit a safety and security (ENS) declaration for all inbound movements from the EU.  This is going to impact on the road freight sector.

HMRC’s presentation provides an overview of the regime (which is already in use for imports from the Rest of the World).  In particular we draw the readers attention to slide 9 – which covers the question of “on-boarding”, in other words, BIFA Members and others can volunteer to use the new system prior to the implementation date.

Please share this information with your clients, hauliers and EU partners.
