Safety and Security declarations –


new requirements from
31 January 2025
Please read this information if you’re involved in
importing goods into Great Britain (GB) from the
European Union (EU).
From 31 January 2025, any goods imported from the EU to GB must be covered
by a Safety and Security declaration (also known as Entry Summary Declarations
or ENS). Those who export from GB to the EU, or import from countries outside the
EU, are already required to submit Safety and Security declarations.
Businesses who are ready to start submitting Safety and Security declarations
before 31 January are encouraged to do so.
To make sure our importing processes are as simple as possible, we’re making
it easier to complete Safety and Security declarations by decreasing the
amount of information you need to provide.
• Safety and Security declarations support the fight against illicit goods –
such as drugs and weapons entering the UK.
• Carriers or hauliers are legally responsible for submitting Safety and
Security declarations. A party other than the carrier, such as the importer
or an intermediary, can lodge the declaration on the carrier’s behalf,
although the carrier is still responsible for making sure the Safety and
Security declaration is submitted.
• If you already submit Safety and Security declarations for Rest of World
imports, you won’t need to make any changes and should continue to
submit declarations as you do currently. But you may be able to benefit
from some of the changes below.

Please speak to your supply chains to agree who is responsible for


completing Safety and Security declarations for EU to GB imports from
31 January, and the most suitable method for doing so.
If you need more advice, you may want to speak to your trade
representative.
Submitting Safety and Security declarations
Safety and Security declarations are submitted into an IT platform
called S&SGB. There are different options for submitting Safety and Security
declarations, such as purchasing specialist software or using customs
agents/intermediaries.
For more information on the options available see the GOV.UK guidance on
making an entry summary declaration

Making things easier


From 31 January we’ll reduce the amount of Safety and Security data
required on an Entry Summary (ENS) declaration.
There will be 20 mandatory fields which must be completed for all
declarations. There will also be eight conditional fields, which only need
to be completed in certain circumstances. The remaining nine fields will
be optional to complete or leave blank.
If you already submit Safety and Security declarations for imports from
countries outside the EU (or already voluntarily submit them for EU imports),
you don’t need to change your existing systems or procedures if you do
not wish to. However, you can benefit from the reduced dataset by only
completing the mandatory and any relevant conditional fields from
31 January 2025.
