ENS Multiple Filing: Streamline Your ICS2 Compliance

⁠

Avoid delays, reduce errors, and automate your ENS submissions.

What is ENS Multiple Filing?

The

ICS2⁠

requires an

ENS⁠

for all shipments. However, when different supply chain participants hold pieces of the required data, ENS Multiple Filing allows them to submit their parts separately.

ICS2 links these filings into a complete declaration using: ✔ Carrier EORI (identifies the transport provider) ✔ Master Transport Reference (e.g., bill of lading number) ✔ House Filer EORI (identifies the forwarder/importer)

How to Automate ENS Filing in Coda

1️⃣ Create an API-Integrated ENS Submission Workflow

Use REST APIs to submit structured ENS data to ICS2.

Auto-link filings by matching EORI & transport document references.

2️⃣ Add Smart Data Validation

Set up pre-validation rules to check for missing or incorrect data before submission.

Use notifications & triggers to alert stakeholders about incomplete ENS filings.

3️⃣ Implement Secure Data Access & Sharing

Role-based access control (RBAC): Assign permissions to carriers, importers, and freight forwarders.

Data encryption & GDPR compliance: Ensure secure information exchange.

⁠

Example Use Case: London → Hamburg Shipment

A UK carrier submits a partial ENS (master-level data).

A German freight forwarder submits house-level details separately.

ICS2 links the filings, enabling German customs to process the shipment without delays.
