Romania e-Transport System: Compliance Guide for Goods Movement

Romania's e-Transport system, operated by ANAF, requires businesses to electronically declare the transport of high-risk goods before they physically move. Violations carry fines of RON 10,000–100,000 (approx. €2,000–20,000) plus potential confiscation of goods. The system works alongside RO e-Factura to create a comprehensive digital tracking chain from invoice to delivery.

What Is the e-Transport System?

e-Transport is Romania's goods monitoring system that tracks physical movement of certain product categories. Before goods leave the origin, the sender must register the transport in ANAF's system and receive a UIT (Unique Identification of Transport) code that must accompany the goods during transit.

Which Goods Require e-Transport Registration?

Vegetables and fruits (fresh and processed) Alcoholic beverages (spirits, wine, beer)

• Vegetables and fruits (fresh and processed)
• Alcoholic beverages (spirits, wine, beer)
• Tobacco products
• Clothing and footwear
• Construction materials (sand, gravel, iron, steel)
• Mineral products

The obligation applies to both domestic transport and cross-border movements (imports/exports).

How Does e-Transport Work?

Before dispatch: Register the transport in ANAF's e-Transport system (via SPV portal or API) Provide details: Sender, receiver, goods description, quantities, vehicle registration, route

1. Before dispatch: Register the transport in ANAF's e-Transport system (via SPV portal or API)
2. Provide details: Sender, receiver, goods description, quantities, vehicle registration, route
3. Receive UIT code: ANAF generates a unique transport identification code
4. Attach UIT to goods: The code must be available (physically or electronically) during transit
5. ANAF monitoring: Road checkpoints and inspectors can verify the UIT

What Are the e-Transport Penalties?

the e-Transport Penalties includes: Transport without UIT: RON 10,000–50,000 for the transporter Incorrect declarations: RON 10,000–50,000 for the declarant

• Transport without UIT: RON 10,000–50,000 for the transporter
• Incorrect declarations: RON 10,000–50,000 for the declarant
• Goods confiscation: High-risk goods without valid UIT can be seized
• Repeated violations: Up to RON 100,000 and potential business activity suspension

How e-Transport Relates to RO e-Factura

The two systems are linked — the e-invoice (RO e-Factura) documents the transaction, while e-Transport tracks the physical movement. ANAF cross-references both systems to detect discrepancies (goods moving without invoices, or invoices without corresponding transport declarations).

How Invoicemonk Supports e-Transport Compliance

Invoicemonk's Romanian compliance module links e-invoices to e-Transport declarations, ensuring that every invoiced goods delivery has a corresponding UIT code. Our compliance dashboard flags missing transport registrations.
