The ENS declaration must be transmitted to the customs administration of the country of first entry into the EU, within time limits which vary depending on the mode of transport (air, sea, road).

AFR Advance Filing Report is the electronic security declaration management system for the arrival of goods into the Japanese customs territory. This regulation requires that a certain number of data elements be sent to Japan Customs before departure from the country of provenance. Based on this data, a risk analysis will be performed and Japan Customs will respond with either an approval or a refusal to load, eventually requesting further details.

AFR via conex™ enables operators to communicate with the Japanese administration and respects the World Customs Organisation’s “WCO Data Model” along with other international standards such as UN/CEFACT and ISO.

WHAT ARE THE ELECTRONIC MESSAGES?

Japan Customs has defined three separate messages, all of which must be filed. The first, which is based on the House B/L data, must be lodged by the NVOCC who established it (who is usually situated outside of Japan). The second, based on the Master B/L, is lodged by the carrier. The carrier must also send a declaration of the date/time of departure which must be completed after the House B/L and the Master B/L have been sent. There are 5 different kinds of electronic messages returned by customs: Response message - Registration completed message - Information discrepancy message - Risk analysis result.
