What is the Automated Import System (AIS)?

What has not changed under AIS?

Arrivals notification

The electronic arrivals system records the scheduled and real-time arrival information for all aircraft and ships arriving in Ireland. This information is received from:

  • the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) for air traffic
  • and
  • Safe Seas Ireland for sea traffic.

The arrivals system interfaces with the AIS and notifies it of the Actual Time of Arrival (ATA) of aircraft and ships. Traders should provide the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) in their declarations.
