The RO e-transport system in Romania

25 April 2024

The RO e-transport system in Romania

On April 8th, 2022, the Romanian government approved law 41/2022 for the implementation of the RO e-Transport integrated electronic system, which will monitor the transport of goods in the country. The system will monitor the movement of goods with a high fiscal risk on the Romanian territory. Product categories covered include vegetables, fruit, alcoholic beverages, clothing, footwear and iron and steel products. RO e-Transport, mandatory since 1 July 2022 for the above good categories, includes IT modules for goods transport management, which will generate unique registration codes (UIT codes) for each transport category. The person required to make the declaration will make these UIT codes available to the carrier, who will be required to enter them on the transport document.

Since December 15th, 2023, the obligation to comply with the RO e-Transport system and obtain UIT codes will be in force for all international transports of all types of goods to and from Romania. From July 1st, 2024, fines will be handed out if this is not complied with.

The obligation to register in the RO e-Transport system, lies with the following users:
• Export: with the consignee registered in the customs import declaration
• Import: at the consignor registered in the customs export declaration

We as Mainfreight NL and Mainfreight RO, as carriers of your goods to and from Romania, will relieve you as much as possible. We therefore also rely on your cooperation and the cooperation of your customers in Romania.

The procedure, if you book a shipment to Romania (export) or from Romania (import) with Mainfreight will be as follows:


EXPORT:

The day before our departure to Romania, you will receive the below details from us between 12.00 and 17.00 hours:
• Registration number of the truck / trailer
• Name of the carrier
• VAT number of the carrier
• Border crossing location
• Date of border passage

You should share this information with your customer in Romania as soon as possible. They can use this information to request the UIT registration code. Once known, they will share this UIT code with you again. You then inform us so that we can further incorporate this code into our processes and documentation. To ensure the entire transport continues to run smoothly, we need this code on the day of our departure before 12.00 hours. We have weekly international departures to Romania every Tuesday and Friday evening. Please note that without the UIT code, we are unable to accept your goods.


IMPORT:

Mainfreight Romania will to handle this process. They will communicate with the consignor and share and further incorporate the necessary information into the processes and documentation. The mention of your customer's contact details in Romania, will certainly contribute to a smoother processing of the flow of goods.

We fully realize that this change will have quite an impact on your daily cooperation with your Romanian customers/suppliers. As a service from Mainfreight, we will assist and inform you as much as possible. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated. Your contact person will be happy to assist you with further questions.
