How ELO Simplifies Customs for Polish Hauliers & Freight Forwarders

Polish hauliers and freight forwarders transporting goods to the UK often face customs clearance issues when handling multiple consignments with different MRN numbers. A recent case with a Polish haulier delivering car parts from Poland to a factory in Oxford highlights the importance of using ELO (Entry Summary Declaration Envelope) and ICS2 compliance to avoid delays and VAT-related problems.

The Challenge

Multiple MRNs from different exporters were not properly scanned at the EU-UK border.

Polish tax authorities rejected zero VAT invoices due to missing proof of export.

The exporter had to submit additional UK customs documents, delaying supply chains.

How We Solved It

Implementing ELO envelopes ensured all MRNs were correctly processed.

Using two barcodes for border clearance simplified compliance.

The exporter received proper documentation, resolving VAT and customs issues.

What This Means for Polish Logistics Companies

Avoid customs clearance delays for goods moving between Poland and the UK.

Ensure compliance with ICS2, ENS, and ELO to prevent financial and operational disruptions.

Reduce risks of VAT invoice rejection and additional paperwork.

ICS2, ENS & ELO: Everything You Need to Know for Seamless EU-UK Border Crossings

New EU & UK Border Regulations Are Coming!

From 3rd June 2024, major changes in customs regulations will impact all businesses transporting goods between the UK & EU. The Import Control System 2 (ICS2) Release 3 will require an Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) for all road freight into the EU, while ELO(Obligatory Logistics Envelope) will become the new standard for smooth crossings at the France-UK Smart Border from 1st April 2025 (mandatory from 1st September 2025).

What Are ICS2, ENS & ELO?

ICS2 & ENS (EU)

ICS2 is the EU’s updated safety and security system. ENS must be filed before arrival for all goods entering the EU, ensuring customs compliance and risk assessment. This requirement starts 3rd June 2024.

ELO (France-UK Smart Border)

ELO replaces verbal customs questions at the border with a single barcode, reducing delays and administrative errors. It will be available from 1st April 2025 and mandatory from 1st September 2025.

GVMS & UK ENS

For shipments into the UK, customs compliance still requires GMR, ENS & CDS filings.

Why You Need to Prepare NOW

Starting 1st September 2025, ELO & ENS will be mandatory for all businesses moving goods between the UK & EU. Failing to comply could result in delays, penalties, and rejected shipments.
