What is a Safety & Security Declaration?
A Safety and Security Declaration (also known as a SSD) is used by GB border authorities to analyse the potential risk caused to their territory by goods crossing their border. It is not about the duties and taxes.
What You Will Need to Submit for S&S GB
Similar to existing GB to EU ENS requirements, for S&S GB declarations you will need to submit the following to ensure you can board ferries/shuttles -
- Valid EORI number (apply for yours here)
- Importer & Exporter company details
- Reference number
- Haulier Company Details (for driver accompanied vehicles)
- Ferry Operator (for unaccompanied trailers)
- Total number of packages and weight
- Border entry point (name of port)
- ETA time and date
- Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
- Trailer seal (if applicable)
- Description of goods
- Type of packages
- Any marks and reference numbers
It is highly likely that GB border control will be strictly enforcing these requirements. Anybody not providing the correct declaration will face penalties.
More information is available on the Gov.uk making an entry summary declaration page.
