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

From 31 January 2025, a security declaration (also known as Entry Summary Declarations or ENS) must be submitted for goods transported to the United Kingdom.

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

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

The carrier of the goods is responsible for the timely submission of the security declaration.
