E2 | Import Entry Acceptance Advice

What is E2?

E2 - Import entry acceptance advice (E2) shows when an import entry is successfully committed and holds the import information from the declaration such as the value, consginee, entry number.

What is E2 used for?

A trader or customs broker receives the E2 after submitting a declaration. It confirms that customs accepted the entry and puts the declaration data on record. The entry number on the E2 is the reference for any later amendment, query, or duty payment, so brokers and importers keep it with the shipment records.
