Create ICS2, S&S GB and ELO Documents with Z | Clear portal
Moving goods between the UK and EU now means dealing with more border data before the truck reaches the crossing. For hauliers, freight forwarders, importers and exporters, that often means another system, another deadline and another task outside normal office hours. Z | Clear, developed by Zelir Logistics Ltd, gives you a simple way to create your own ICS2, S&S GB and ELO documents online.
The Portal uses assisted completion to guide you through the process, with 24/7 support from Zelir’s customs team.
Customs documents without the usual back and forth
More control, with expert support
Z | Clear is built for people who understand their shipment but do not want long email chains every time a document is needed.
You enter the shipment details into the portal and assisted completion helps you create the right document. You keep control of the timing, while still having access to an expert customs clearance agent UK if something needs checking.
HMRC prepared businesses during 2024 for S&S GB requirements on EU imports from 31 January 2025. The updated process uses 20 mandatory data fields, with 8 conditional fields in certain cases.
HMRC also makes the responsibility clear: “Hauliers or carriers are legally responsible for submitting safety and security declarations.”
Create ICS2 and S&S GB in one Portal
Built around pre-arrival data
For EU-bound freight, ICS2 is used for advance Entry Summary Declaration data. For goods entering Great Britain, S&S GB handles the UK safety and security filing.
Z | Clear helps you create these documents without building your own customs software connection.
UK goods imports from the EU were worth £315.1 billion in 2024 and £319.7 billion in 2025. In 2025, EU goods represented 51% of UK goods imports.
The European Commission extended ICS2 to road and rail from 1 April 2025. It stresses the need for “accurate and complete Entry Summary Declaration data prior to arrival”.
That is the point of Z | Clear. Get the information in, check it and create the document before the border becomes the problem.
ELO without the late-night T1 headache
WhatsApp keeps the driver in the loop
French Customs launched ELO in 2025 and made it mandatory from 20 April 2026 for transport units using the France–UK Smart Border.
But there is a very human problem behind the system. Drivers run through the night. Office teams often do not.
Zelir clients said staying awake to add a live T1 MRN to an ELO was creating problems. Z | Clear now tackles this with WhatsApp compatibility.
You can prepare the ELO in advance and send it to the driver through WhatsApp. When the T1 MRN becomes available, the driver can add it and receive the completed ELO PDF directly on their phone.
No late-night laptop session. No frantic call to the office. Just a cleaner handover between planner and driver.
Built for people actually moving freight
Practical technology, backed by customs people
Z | Clear is for hauliers, freight forwarders, importers and exporters who want more control over routine border documents without losing access to specialist help.
Zelir Logistics Ltd also provides customs clearance, declarations, transit support and UK–EU road freight services, so the Portal sits alongside a working customs operation rather than acting as standalone software.
If you met Zelir Logistics Ltd at Multimodal 2026 Stand D2, Z | Clear is a good example of the company’s approach: useful technology supported by people who understand live freight movements.
What comes next for Z | Clear?
More documents, one place
Zelir plans to keep developing the Portal, with further self-service documents such as GMR creation on the roadmap.
For now, the goal is simple. Create ICS2, S&S GB and ELO documents more easily, keep expert help available 24/7 and make out-of-hours customs tasks easier to manage.
