What is a Safety and Security Declaration?
A Safety and Security Declaration (SSD) is used by border authorities to analyse the potential risk caused to their territory by goods crossing their border. It is not about the duties and taxes. There are two types of declaration – ENS (entry summary declaration) and EXS (exit summary declaration).
ENS (GB IMPORT) UPDATES
The requirement for safety and security declarations on imports into GB from the EU (S&S GB) will no longer be required in July 2022. This requirement has been pushed back to the end of 2023.
Who is Responsible?
The ‘Carrier’ is responsible for submitting the Safety and Security Declaration. In RoRo (ferry) shipping for driver accompanied vehicles, this is the haulier. For unaccompanied trailers this is the ferry operator, BUT many ferry operators have passed this task back to their haulier customers. This means that hauliers need to submit SSDs into the EU or Northern Ireland Import Control System (ICS).
