Entry Summary Declarations (ENS)

The ENS must be lodged by the carrier of the goods (the person who brings the goods into the customs territory of the European Union or who assumes responsibility for the carriage of the goods).

The carrier may authorise a third party (a customs representative (customs broker), freight forwarder, etc.) to lodge the ENS on their behalf; however, responsibility for a correct and timely ENS remains with the carrier.
