How do you submit a GB ENS for an empty vehicle?

In a previous post, we discussed when an empty GB ENS is required. But when the need arises, how do you submit one?

For an empty ENS declaration with a transport contract, the empty vehicle must be added to the declaration in the goods section.

Here's how to complete the key fields:

• Consignor and Consignee: use the trailer owner's details.
• Goods Description: enter something like "Empty 32-tonne trailer".
• Gross Mass: provide the weight of the empty vehicle.
• Package Type: choose an appropriate code, such as:
  • CN: Container
  • NF: Unpacked
  • TY: Tanks
• Shipping Marks: include the trailer/unit ID.
