The Phase 3 of the Import Control System (ICS2) will be introduced in spring 2025. At that time, entry summary declarations will be submitted in the new import control system ICS2.
For traffic from Norway and Switzerland, no arrival notification or entry summary declaration is required, as Norway and Switzerland are part of the security zone.
Entry summary declarations and the new import control system, ICS2.
Centralised clearance is introduced in two parts. The first part includes the standard customs declaration. The second part includes, for example, simplified and supplementary declarations and registration in the declarant's records. In Sweden, centralised clearance for standard customs declarations will be introduced on 2 June 2025. As regards the second part, we plan for this to be introduced in Sweden on 1 September 2026.
Release 6 of NCTS is a further development of NCTS (Release 5) and means that Sweden will no longer be able to provide security and safety information in the transit system when importing goods. Security and safety information must instead be provided in the import control system, ICS2.
The introduction of Release 6 started in the EU in March 2025. In Sweden, the planned date for introduction is 16 November 2025.
