In a previous post, we looked at when an empty ICS2 EU ENS is required. But when the need arises, how do you actually 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 or vehicle owner's details.
- Goods description: enter something like "Empty 32-tonne trailer".
- Gross mass: give the weight of the empty vehicle.
- Package type: choose a suitable code, such as:
- CN: Container
- NF: Unpacked
- TY: Tanks
- Shipping marks: include the trailer or unit ID.
You can submit an ICS2 ENS for an empty vehicle on ENS Ready, the same way as any other ICS2 declaration.
