Automating Entry Summary Declarations to Northern Ireland

Description and use

Automating Entry Summary Declarations in Northern Ireland reduces errors, speeds processing, and routes rejections to the correct team.

Problem

Manual entry of Entry Summary Declarations (ENS) in Northern Ireland leads to errors in description, EORI, and routing, causing delays and rejections.

Outcome

Automation reduces manual re-keying errors, speeds up ENS processing, and ensures rejections are handled by the correct team, improving compliance and throughput.

Workflow

• Pull consignor, consignee, goods, and transport data directly from the TMS or ERP.
• Auto-validate XI EORI presence, description against approved library, consignor/consignee identifiers, and routing completeness.
• Submit validated data to the Integrated Customs System (ICS2) automatically and store the Movement Reference.
• Route any ICS2 rejections to the operations team for review.
• Manually review controlled and SPS goods where required.
• Provide a demo for stakeholders to observe the end-to-end automation.

Evidence

ENS is high-volume, structured, and repeatable. That makes it ideal for automation across four layers: data capture, validation, submission, and response handling.

Source

Pull consignor, consignee, goods, and transport data directly from the TMS or ERP. Avoid manual re-keying, which is the source of most description and EORI errors.
