Steps
Determine which ICS2 release applies to the transport mode involved (air and postal/express were onboarded first, followed by maritime/inland waterway, then road and rail)
Obtain an EORI number for the party responsible for lodging the Entry Summary Declaration (ENS)
Connect to the relevant EU member state's national ICS2 interface to submit the ENS with commercial invoice-level detail
Include a 6-digit Harmonized System code and the consignee's identity/EORI details for each commodity line
Monitor for risk-assessment results and any do-not-load or do-not-unload notifications issued before or during transport
Known gotchas
ICS2 requires pre-arrival data from every Economic Operator across the logistics chain (carriers, freight forwarders, postal/express operators), not just the importer
Submission happens through each member state's own national ICS2 interface rather than a single unified EU-wide API endpoint
Data requirements differ by release and transport mode, so an integration built for one mode's spec may be missing fields required by another
