Concept of securityConcept of security Identify consignments that constitute a high risk at the earliest
possible point in time
Identify traders that offer a high degree of security guarantees in respect of their role in the supply chain
Concept pushes security of cargo back in supply chain by involving private sector and by requiring increased security at the point of origin and as the consignment moves through the supply chain

the S&S risk analysis WILL be carried out BEFORE the arrival of the goods in
the EU.
The security data (as contained in annex 30A to Regulation 1875) MUST be

• Between 1st July 2009 and 31st December 2010 there will be a
transitional period during which the submission of the ENS will be an
option i.e. not an obligation. During this period goods not declared in
advance may be submitted to risk analysis after arrival in the territory
of the EU.
•However, it is advisable to ensure that the customs authorities of
Bulgaria/Greece share a similar interpretation of EU legislation (with
effect from the 1st July 2009).

Goods entering the EU: Procedures (contd):
• Transit customs declaration, including S&S data to be sent to
the national transit system of the Member State concerned.
This means that for goods entering the EU under a transit
procedure the responsible person (carrier?) has two options:

2. Lodge a transit declaration without the S&S data AND an entry
summary declaration to meet the S&S requirements.

Business ContinuityFormerly called “Fallback”. The EU IT systems level of availability should be 97% and 99% with effect from 2011. Maintenance periods should be announced well in advance to enable trade and customs to plan accordingly.
Electronic Pre-Declaration Requirements and Advanced Cargo Information
Business ContinuityOne of the following options is available to
Economic Operators when their system is unavailable to send the ENS:
1. Send the ENS as soon as possible after having resolved the reason for the unavailability of the system. This option is only available up to the arrival of the goods at the office of entry. However, the later the message is sent the more likelihood the movement will be selected for customs control and incur a delay;
2. Economic Operators should explore alternative means of sending the ENS when their system is unavailable e.g. use a Customs agent or NCTS or ICS as necessary
Electronic Pre-Declaration Requirements and Advanced Cargo Information
Business Continuity When the customs system is unavailable
they will:
1. The customs authorities as soon as the problem is resolved will process the ENS and allocate the MRN as appropriate i.e. prior to arrival of the movement at the office of entry;
2. If the situation cannot be resolved Customs authorities may apply their national processes to deal with “fallback” situations i.e. send positive risk results to subsequent customs offices e.g. by secure email .
