<p>A risk-based, intelligence-led approach is taken at the Border to tackle the highest
and most significant risks before arrival. This approach includes risk-based pre-
and post-clearance checks, regular monitoring of supply chains to identify any potentially
illicit trade in cooperation with international partners and providing education to
traders on their responsibilities.</p><p> </p><p>Entry summary declarations (also
known as an ENS) submitted by carriers, are used to identify risks on goods before
they arrive. They are part of the international standard for safety and security set
up by the World Customs Organisation in their SAFE Framework.</p><p> </p><p>Where
the Goods Vehicle Movement System (GVMS) is used for inbound goods with pre-lodged
customs declarations, goods requiring checks are identified before they disembark.
In other circumstances where customs declarations have been pre-lodged goods may be
identified for checks provisionally.</p><p> </p><p>Imports of all goods which are
regulated for sanitary or phytosanitary purposes must be pre-notified via the Imports
of Animals, Products, Food and Feed System or an equivalent system for plants and
plant products. This information is used to target risk-based checks of these imports,
to safeguard UK biosecurity.</p>
