For goods arriving by road, no separate entry summary declaration is required if an electronic transit declaration containing security data has been submitted in advance.
If the transit declaration does not include safety and security data, they must be provided separately in the Safety and Security System (AREX) with an entry summary declaration message IE315.
The entry declarations in maritime traffic can be submitted for goods carried by shipping companies, operators, ship owners, temporary storage operators and forwarding agencies.
When importing goods by sea, the shipping company that drafted the bill of lading (B/L) is responsible for submitting the entry summary declaration.
An entry summary declaration must be submitted at the first point of entry into the Union for all goods that arrive from outside the EU. Makes no difference, whether the goods are unloaded at the first port of entry or whether they remain on the vessel and continue on to another EU country or outside the EU. Possible Union goods that have been loaded onto the vessel previously, must also be declared if the vessel has been outside the EU on its route.
Also empty containers (not owned or hired by the transport company) that are transported based on a transport agreement, must be declared.
The railway company is responsible for submitting the entry summary declaration. The railway company can use a representative for submitting declarations.
A declaration is submitted for all goods arriving on the train.
