The Import Control System (ICS) is the first phase implementation of the EU wide
Automated Import System (AIS).
ICS implements the EU safety and security legislation which requires
carriers (or their authorised representatives) to provide pre-arrival information, in a specified format,
for all cargo entering the EU regardless of the eventual destination of the cargo.
This information is submitted in an “Entry Summary Declaration” (ENS) to the first port of entry
into the EU (the “Office of First Entry” (OoFE)) and includes, amongst other things, details which
identify the cargo, the traders involved in the movement, the carrier and the envisaged route into
and across the EU.
All ICS messaging are fully electronic.

ICS information is assessed against a set of common (EU) risk criteria and also allows for messages to be
passed onto subsequent ports in other Member States (Offices of Subsequent Entry (OoSE)) about any positive
risks identified at the first port of entry into the EU.
