SEATTLE - Washingtoner -- Trade Tech, Inc., a global logistics platform, has unveiled critical findings from a recent survey that highlight significant awareness and preparedness gaps for the upcoming ICS2-ENS regulations and EORI requirements. Being on the forefront of this issue since late last year, Trade Tech conducted the survey (https://site.tradetech.net/trade-tech-survey-un...) on its website over the last few months to determine industry awareness and preparedness.

As the logistics landscape becomes increasingly regulated, ICS2-ENS compliance is set to reshape freight processes into and throughout the European Union. Trade Tech understands the significant implications of non-compliance, and the survey findings suggest that a lack of readiness could hinder the industry's ability to maintain streamlined and compliant operations.

Key Findings from the Survey:

• ICS2-ENS Awareness: Approximately 47% of respondents were not aware of ICS2-ENS, indicating a critical knowledge gap within the industry.
• Preparedness for ICS2-ENS Compliance by December 2024: Half of the respondents are not prepared to meet the December 2024 compliance requirement, signaling an urgent need for action.
• Regulation Timeline Awareness: Only 56.5% of respondents indicated they know the deadline for compliance, while a substantial portion remains uninformed, which may impact timely adherence.
• Perceived Impact of ICS2-ENS: Industry participants expressed varied expectations, with 58.8% foreseeing an impact on their operations and 32.9% unaware of the regulation's effects.
• EORI Number Awareness: Although 58.2% know what an EORI Number is, a significant percentage remains unaware of its necessity for EU-bound shipments.
• Requirement for EORI Registration by June 1, 2024: Only 47.1% of respondents recognized the need for an EORI Number registration.

In a further commitment to ensuring regulatory compliance and streamlining the complexities of global trade, Trade Tech launched a website dedicated to helping companies navigate the complexity of Customs regulations at cargofiling.com. This dedicated website serves as a comprehensive resource for businesses to better understand and meet the demands of the EU's ICS2-ENS regulations and other jurisdictions.
