This document outlines a list of approved and prohibited terms in goods descriptions, enabling customs authorities to more effectively identify shipments and conduct risk assessments.
The key objective is to ensure that businesses provide clear and sufficiently detailed descriptions of their goods. The use of vague or generic terms such as “consolidated goods,” “general cargo,” or “parts” is strictly not permitted.
Adhering to these requirements not only helps mitigate risks for the European Union and its citizens, but also prevents unnecessary efforts, added costs, and supply chain delays—such as physical inspections triggered by incomplete or ambiguous goods descriptions. This legal obligation stems from the customs authorities’ need to base their risk analysis on complete goods information, especially when HS codes are not provided in the Entry Summary Declaration (ENS).
