ENS / Safety & Security (UK) – What You Need to Know

ENS/S&S requirements depend on the movement and route. This page summarises what is typically needed and why timing matters.

When ENS/S&S may be required

Not all movements require ENS, but non‑compliance can increase risk of delays.

  • Route and mode determine requirements
  • Timeframes apply before arrival
  • Accurate party and goods data is important

Typical information required

Prepare key identifiers early to avoid last‑minute issues.

  • Consignor/consignee details
  • Goods descriptions and codes (where available)
  • Transport identifiers and entry point
  • Planned arrival time
