Economic Operator Registration & Id. (EORI)
Having an EORI does not grant Authorised Economic Operator
(AEO) Status
AEO status is granted to entities who meet certain criteria and
grants them customs facilitations such as:-
• Reduced scrutiny on shipments
• Reduced advance data requirement for Safety and Security checks (if
all parties involved have AEO status)
EU has initiated mutual AEO recognition programmes with various
non-EU states e.g. US, Japan

Industry Messages
IATA has emended its standard CIMP & CXML messages:
House Waybill, Air Waybill, House Manifest and Flight Manifest messages have
been updated to support the EC requirements
Key changes related to the EU requirements are:
Additional Customs Information Identifiers;
A more flexible Other Customs Information (OCI) line;
Inclusion of the OCI line in the Consolidation List (FHL) message
As examples, these changes will facilitate the exchange of:
The Movement Reference Number (MRN)
The Economic Operators Registration Identification (EORI) number
The scheduled arrival date & time at first point of entry

Industry Roles & Responsibilities (1)
Carrier reports ENS Microsoft Word
Document
Carrier (or its representative e.g. GHA) reports the Entry Summary
Declaration (ENS)
Forwarder will send FWB & FHL containing the required
information to the Carrier
Using this information the Carrier will compose and submit the
ENS to Customs e.g. BE Customs
Customs performs risk assessment and provides the MRN back as
well as the notification of controls if applicable

Industry Roles & Responsibilities (2)
Forwarder reports ENS
F
- orwarder reports the Entry Summary Declaration (ENS) information with Carrier
knowledge and consent
Forwarder will obtain the Entry Key information (AWB, Flight etc.) and
Carrier EORI # from the Carrier
Using this information Forwarder will compose and submit the ENS to
Customs e.g. BE Customs
Customs performs risk assessment and provides the MRN back to the
Forwarder & Carrier and the notification of controls if applicable
If Carrier EORI # provided & as an EDI connection with Customs
Forwarder will send FWB & FHL including the MRNs to the Carrier
Upon arrival the Carrier will provide Customs the Entry Key in the Arrival
Notification rather than the individual MRNs

Other Considerations
Cargo Business Process & Standards INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION 2010
Version 0.2 01 June 2010
Link between HWB/AWB & ENS
At what level an ENS should be created?
ENS can be created at House Waybill or at Air Waybill level
depending on:
Arrangements made between the Carriers and the Shipper/Forwarder
Goods description needs to allow Customs to perform risk analysis
Merging goods descriptions of different commodities in one single
ENS line item description is possible (356 characters limitation)
Examples:
1. One ENS per MAWB with line item data equal to a HAWB. Each line
item will have an acceptable goods description or an aggregation of
goods descriptions
2. Same as number 1 but no aggregation of descriptions
3. One ENS per HAWB with ENS line item equal to one good description

Consignee

goods are actually consigned’

Do I need an ENS?
Freight remaining on board for a third country will need an Entry
Summary declaration
Cargo Business Process & Standards INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION 2009
Version 1.2 04 Feb. 2009 67
Primary Trade Issues
Where the FF is expecting the Carrier to submit the ENS data required as
part of the legal obligation, the Carrier will need quality data from the FF
at origin to be able to:-
Ensure the data submission is made within the laid down time limits
Provide data at a level which will ensure the shipments are not subjected to
undue scrutiny, e.g. HAWB Level Data not MAWB Level Data
Receiving such data in paper format from the FF at origin will not allow
the Carrier to consolidate the flight data, prepare it and send it forward to
the EU Customs Office of first entry within the time limits
Where a FF, with the Carriers knowledge and consent undertakes to
submit the data to the EU Customs Office of First Entry themselves, they
will need to:-
• Be aware where the aircraft is first entering the EU (First Airport of Arrival)
• Be aware of the Carriers EORI to quote in the ENS
• Be able to receive back the MRN issued by the EU Customs Authority
