Thanks to Conex, It is Possible to Handle EU Advance Security Declarations (Import Control System — ICS) Throughout Europe via a Single Point of Entry

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--European advance security declaration — a new security clearance system for goods entering Europe

To tighten trade security, the international community has introduced a large number of regulations with a view to keeping track of import flows. The latest regulation in Europe is the EU advance security declaration. This is an electronic system for managing security declarations for goods coming into Europe. 27 European countries are currently transposing the European Union regulation into their national legislations, at their own pace and in their own way. This does not make life easy for logistics and transport operators wishing to export to the EU.

To free them from this extra constraint, Conex has developed a solution for making and sending declarations to the customs authorities in question. Just one data-entry interface needs to be filled in, and the information is immediately checked and sent to the customs authorities of the country concerned.

Conex is currently one of the very few companies offering real coverage of Europe.

Close relations with Asian clients

Its international section is made up of eight people from different countries who, over the past two years, have met the customs authorities in the largest countries in the world. Conex also has an office in Shanghai.

Professional operators have recommended Conex directly to a large number of contacts in various countries: Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, China, Macau, Malaysia, Korea and Hong Kong.

Conex confirms that it has already signed ICS contracts with two major Asian companies specializing in air and maritime transport, as well as with a Korean transmission platform, with a view to helping them with their EU advance declarations in accordance with ICS.

Time is running out for international trade professionals importing goods into Europe to prepare themselves. Fortunately, Conex is there to lend a hand.

ICS via conex is:

• A legal solution which ensures that declarants’ ICS declarations are compliant, no matter where the goods enter Europe.

• A technical solution which communicates with customs authorities’ information systems in all EU countries. ICS via conex provides declarants with a single interface, and manages the specific adjustments for customs in each country.

The solution is available in Web mode and full EDI.
