Imports GB: Safety and Security Declarations (S&S)

From 31 January 2025, a security declaration (also known as Entry Summary Declarations or ENS) must be submitted for goods brought into the UK.

S&S GB is the Entry Summary Declaration Service (ENS) for goods imported into the UK. The declaration is used by HMRC and the border authorities to risk assess goods before they arrive and applies to all modes of transport.

The ENS declaration is independent of the import customs declaration for goods and does not include duties or taxes.

The carrier of the goods is responsible for submitting the security declaration on time.
