12. EU Regulation 1875/2006 – Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) coming into effect December 31, 2101 1. Ocean container shipments from outside the EU. The carrier will be responsible for the timely electronic transmission of the Entry Summary Declaration (ENS), and will transmit one ENS per B/L or Seaway Bill. ENS transmission must be carried out no later than 24 hours prior to start of the loading of vessels, from a non-EU load port, which are bound for an EU port. To comply with this regulation we will require complete and accurate shipping instructions. The documentation closing times is similar to other “advance manifest” 24 Hour Rules for shipments to locations such as USA, Canada or Mexico. The transmission of ENS is mandatory for all cargo to be discharged in an EU port (including trans-shipment cargo) as well as FROB cargo (Foreign Cargo Remaining on Board), i.e. cargo which is discharged in a port outside the EU after the vessel has called at an EU port.

13. EU Regulation 1875/2006 To enable the submission of an ENS, the following information is required in your shipping instructions: Full name and address of shipper and consignee Full name and address of notify party where goods are carried under a negotiable “to order” B/L Container number Goods description (general terms for example “consolidated cargo” or “general cargo” cannot be accepted) Minimally first four digits of the HS code. Number of packages Cargo gross weight Seal number UN dangerous goods code where applicable Method of payment in case of prepaid, for example “payment in cash”, “payment by cheque”, “electronic credit transfer”, etc.

14. EU Regulation 1875/2006 The ENS will be sent to the Customs office of the first port of entry (first port of call) in the EU. This Customs office will carry out a security risk assessment. In the situation where a risk is identified, subsequent ports and port of loading will be informed: Risk Type A = do not load Risk Type B = interception of a suspicious shipment at the first port of entry Risk Type C = interception of a suspicious shipment at the port of discharge A written consent from the carrier is required when a freight forwarder wants to file the ENS.
