e-Transport Legislation

What is
ro
e-Transport

RO e-Transport is a national electronic system that monitors the road transport of goods considered high fiscal risk, both within Romania and during international transport.

The system is designed to prevent tax evasion and fraud by tracking transports in real time, using a unique identification code (UIT code) and GPS data.

Step-by-step process:

Declaration before transport:
The operator submits an electronic declaration through the SPV (Virtual Private Space), providing all necessary transport details.
Generation of UIT code:
After submission, the system generates a unique identification code (UIT code) for that transport.
Driver access to UIT code:
The UIT code must be made available to the driver, who carries it throughout the transport.
Real-time GPS monitoring:
The vehicle’s GPS data is transmitted to the authorities, allowing continuous tracking of the transport routeand ensuring compliance.

Who is subject to e-Transport regulations?

DECLARANT
(UIT REPORTING ENTITY)

• generates UIT code
• transmits UIT code->

TRANSPORT ORGANISER

• updates the vehicle registration number in UIT when changing the vehicle
• transmits UIT code ->

TRANSPORT OPERATOR

• reports the GPS coordinates to ANAF
• transmits UIT code ->

DRIVER

• starts and stops GPS monitoring
• has a UIT code and presents it during inspections

What type of transports have to be declared?

DOMESTIC

All shipments of high fiscal risk goods (HFRG) that originate and terminate within Romania.

IMPORT - EXPORT

Any transport that begins or ends in Romania — including imports, exports, acquisitions, or intra-community deliveries. The system covers all goods with a weight over 500 kg or a value exceeding 10.000 RON.

TRANSIT

All transports transiting Romania without having their final destination in the country, but only when the goods are unloaded for storage or to organize a subsequent transport.

Everything You Need to Know About UIT Codes

What is a UIT code?

The UIT Code (Transport Identification Unit) is a unique, 16-character alphanumeric identifier generated by the RO e-Transport system. It is used to identify shipments of goods with high fiscal risk. This code is mandatory for all applicable transports and must appear on the transport document—either in printed or electronic format — throughout the entire trip.

Who generates the UIT code?

The UIT code is generated by the transport declarant, i.e., the UIT reporting entity designated under art. 8, par. (1) of GEO 41/2022. Depending on the type of transport, the declarant may be:

The Supplier – for domestic transports.
The Importer or the Beneficiary in Romania – for intra-community acquisitions and imports.
The Exporter or the Supplier in Romania – for intra-community deliveries or extra-community exports.
The Depositary – for goods in transit or forming part of a groupage.

Important: The transport organizer (forwarding company) is responsible, in certain situations, for updating vehicle information but does not generate the UIT code unless it also qualifies as a declarant.

How do you obtain the UIT code?

The code is obtained through:

The RO e-Transport system, accessed via the Virtual Private Space (SPV), with manual generation through authentication using a digital certificate (token).
Third-party applications integrated with ANAF (e.g., LoadHub), which automatically transmit the data to ANAF and return the UIT code.

When is the UIT code generated?

The UIT code must be generated before the vehicle starts its trip:

National transport – Required only for goods with high fiscal risk (HFRG) transported by vehicles with a maximum authorized mass (MTMA) of 2.5 tons, and if the shipment exceeds 500 kg or 10.000 RON.
International transport – Required for all goods exceeding 500 kg or 10.000 RON per transport, including imports, exports, intra-community acquisitions (AIC), and intra-community deliveries (LIC). The UIT code must be generated before the vehicle reaches the border crossing point when entering Romania.

How long does a UIT code remain valid?

The validity of a UIT code depends on the type of transport:

Domestic transport: 5 working days or 7 calendar days
Intra-community transport: 15 calendar days

The validity period starts from the date declared as the commencement of the transport.

Important: Road transport operators are strictly prohibited from using a UIT code beyond its validity period.

How is the UIT code used?

Roles and Responsibilities for the UIT Code:

Declarant: Generates the UIT code for the goods before the transport begins (or before the goods enter Romania) and transmits it to the Transport Organizer.
Transport Organizer: Receives the UIT code from the declarant and sends it to the Operator and/or the driver. The Organizer is responsible for updating the vehicle information in the code if needed.
Driver: Must have the UIT code available for inspection at all times and is responsible for starting and stopping the GPS monitoring associated with that code.
