ICS2/ENS gateway for air freight
The central solution for airlines to simplify the EU security-data process. Erin Logistics aggregates the data of all parties and handles the technical communication with EU authorities – from pre-loading filing to the MRN.
One gateway for all parties: airlines, shippers and consignees provide their data – we validate and submit it to the EU on time.
ICS2 compliance in air freight
The EU ICS2 regulation requires complete security data for all shipments touching EU territory – on time, complete and in the correct structure.
PLACI before loading
Mandatory pre-loading filing (Pre-Loading Advance Cargo Information) before the aircraft is loaded.
Complete ENS data set
The full ENS data set must be available before arrival at the EU border.
Higher data quality
Stricter requirements including correct HS codes and EORI information.
One central gateway instead of many separate connections
Erin Logistics provides a dedicated interface that connects all parties, aggregates the data and handles the technical communication with EU authorities.
No customs block – no storage costs at the airport
Shippers and consignees can submit their ENS data directly through us. This significantly reduces the risk of a customs block due to missing or incorrectly created ENS data – and no storage costs arise at the airport. A tangible advantage: faster and cost-reducing.
Which data is transmitted when
| Phase | Type (data set) | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Loading | PLACI (F42/F43/F44) | Minimum data set before the aircraft is loaded. |
| Pre-Arrival | Full ENS (F10/F11 etc.) | Complete data set before border crossing. |
| Update | Amendment (IE313) | Correction of already submitted data. |
The MRN – your transport release
The Movement Reference Number (MRN) is generated after successful review by the EU customs authorities and is the key identifier for all further operational handling.
- Automatic MRN feedback to the handling agent (physical handling)
- To the airline for documents such as FWB and FHL
- To customs for local filings at the destination
Your benefits as an airline at a glance
Lower risk
Fewer errors through automated validation – and thus less DNL risk.
Time saved
No manual data entry across several portals – one interface for everything.
