Submission Process for Entry Summary Declarations

This guide outlines the process for submitting Safety and Security Entry Summary (ENS) declarations. It details the options available for submission, including self-submission or using a third-party customs agent. To submit ENS declarations independently, registration for S&S GB is necessary, which requires a Government Gateway account and a GB EORI number. The S&S GB service lacks a user interface, necessitating the development or purchase of compatible software or the employment of a Community System Provider. The guide specifies the information required for completing ENS declarations, such as documents and licenses for imports, goods descriptions, and transport details. It emphasizes the importance of accuracy in declarations and the ability to amend them until the goods arrive at the border. After submission, a movement reference number (MRN) is issued if the declaration is accepted. The guide also mentions that declarations will undergo risk assessment before goods can proceed.
