RO e-Transport (Romanian electronic transport monitoring)
Quick answer
Romanian ANAF system for monitoring shipments of high-fiscal-risk goods; requires advance declaration with a UIT code issued via SPV.
Key takeaways
- Suppliers / buyers of goods with gross weight >500 kg or value >€2,000 per consignment
- Goods listed in Annex 1 of OUG 41/2022 (vegetables, fruit, beverages, clothing, footwear, construction materials, metallurgical products - most retail/distribution categories)
- All intra-EU shipments (EU import/export) of physical goods - regardless of weight or value, since 2024
What RO e-Transport is
RO e-Transport is the ANAF platform through which any domestic, intra-EU or international transport of high-fiscal-risk goods must be declared before the vehicle departs. The economic operator receives a UIT code (Unique Transport Registration Code) that must accompany the goods on the entire route - printed or electronic, presentable at roadside checks.
Who is obligated
- Suppliers / buyers of goods with gross weight >500 kg or value >€2,000 per consignment
- Goods listed in Annex 1 of OUG 41/2022 (vegetables, fruit, beverages, clothing, footwear, construction materials, metallurgical products - most retail/distribution categories)
- All intra-EU shipments (EU import/export) of physical goods - regardless of weight or value, since 2024
Data declared
- Sender + recipient tax ID, goods description, CN code (8 digits), quantity, value
- Departure + arrival point (postcode, GLN if available)
- Vehicle data: licence plate, driver, estimated departure/arrival date and time
- Operation type (intra-EU supply, export, internal warehouse transfer, etc.)
How it works in practice
1. The logistics operator / WMS generates the e-Transport XML message after shipment confirmation
2. The XML is sent to SPV via the e-Transport API (OAuth2)
3. ANAF returns the UIT code + status (accepted / rejected)
4. The UIT is printed on the transport accompanying note or on the transport document (CMR)
5. At roadside controls the authority verifies the UIT on the spot
Penalties
- Missing declaration: fine €1,000-€20,000 + confiscation of the goods' value
- Incorrect declaration (quantity, value, route): fine €1,000-€3,000
- Data changes after departure without UIT update: fine + tax evasion suspicion
Real-world example
An FMCG distributor with 80 daily shipments to retailers integrated e-Transport via CRMconnect: the WMS automatically generates the XML at picking confirmation, the UIT returns in under 30 seconds and is printed on the accompanying note. Zero penalties over 18 months of operation.

Frequently asked
What is e-Transport (ANAF)?+
RO e-Transport is the ANAF system for monitoring shipments of high-fiscal-risk goods. Any eligible transport must be declared electronically in SPV before the vehicle departs, receiving a UIT code that accompanies the goods along the whole route.
What is the UIT code?+
UIT (Unique Transport Registration Code) is the identifier ANAF issues after the transport is declared in e-Transport. It must accompany the goods (on the note or CMR) and be shown at roadside checks. It is valid for a limited period (usually 5 days).
How do I get a UIT code?+
You declare the transport in the e-Transport system (sender/recipient data, goods with CN code, quantity, value, vehicle, route) via the SPV API or manually in the portal, and ANAF returns the UIT code. CRMconnect generates the XML automatically at shipment confirmation and receives the UIT in under 30 seconds.
When is e-Transport mandatory?+
For consignments of goods with gross weight >500 kg or value >€2,000, for goods listed in Annex 1 of OUG 41/2022, and for all intra-EU shipments of physical goods regardless of weight or value.
Difference between e-Transport and the transport accompanying note?+
The accompanying note is an internal document (PDF/print) issued by the supplier to justify the goods' movement. e-Transport is the electronic declaration to ANAF with a UIT code, mandatory before departure. The UIT is printed on the note, but e-Transport does not replace the note.
How does CRMconnect handle e-Transport?+
CRMconnect WMS generates the XML automatically at shipment confirmation, sends it via SPV API, receives the UIT and attaches it automatically to the printed accompanying note. The logistics operator enters nothing manually.
