| Import Control System : a new regulatory framework to increase freight transport security |  |
The Import Control System (ICS) is part of the community eCustoms programme. It has been implemented
as part of the SAFE standards recommended by the World Customs Organisation to increase the security of
international trade imports.
ICS is Europe's electronic management system for goods
import security declarations and will be mandatory as of
1st January 2011.
Operators will have to send an EDI message (electronic
data interchange) including the cargo ENS to the customs
authority at the first point of entry into the EU.
The message must be sent in advance, before the arrival of the cargo and in some cases even before
loading gets underway. |
M-customs : meeting security requirements |  |
M-customs (MareNostrum customs) is part of the
MareNostrum initiative that seeks to facilitate the
exchange of information and the dematerialisation
of documents for international trade and is the first
application meeting safety and security requirements
available to operators and customs.
M-customs is an application developed by MGI for
logistics community professionals and is part of the
drive to computerise logistics and trade flows.
M-customs is the first solution to be ICS
certified by French customs on February,
4th 2010 under registered n°. ICS-001
and is a pioneer in the implementation
of the new regulation. |
