D.Tax - RO e-Transport

What is RO e-Transport System? Key highlights

RO e-transport system monitors the domestic road transport of goods with high fiscal risk as well as the international road transport of all types of goods.

The categories of national road transports in scope for RO e-transport reporting are:

• the vehicles having a weight of minimum 2.5t
• loaded with high fiscal risk products having either
• the value of the goods more than RON 10,000 (app. EUR 2,000) or
• the weight of goods more than 500kg.

Currently, the law does not provide conditions for international road transport of goods.

Each road transport of goods meeting the above definition and the conditions should be accompanied by UIT(s).

The UIT represents the unique identification transport number generated through RO e-Transport platform which identifies the goods and the parties involved in the transport.

The UIT code can be generated with maximum 3 days prior to date declared for the transport to begin and it is valid 5 calendar days, respectively 15 calendar days, starting from the date declared for the start of the transport.

For example, on order to generate the UIT, the following information should be reported:

• Information regarding the expeditor/beneficiary
• Description/quantity/value of the goods transported
• Details regarding the loading/unloading place
• Details regarding the means of transport used
• Frontier passing point
  

Who should declare?

Mainly, the following categories of entities should declare the information:

How can Deloitte help you? D.Tax RO e-transport

Deloitte has designed RO e-transport, a module of D.Tax application. The module is a collaborative platform, where the authorised users of the parties involved - from your company and the ones from the transporter - may have access (some will have limited, while others full) to introduce the data needed to generate the UIT codes.

We took into account both the legislative requirements as well as the practical aspects and came up with an app suitable for all parties involved.

D.Tax RO e-transport goes beyond merely gathering data and ticking boxes. It is a collaborative platform crafted to streamline the critical facets of real time data reporting and integrates a network of alerts and triggers (such as Attention! Transport x arrives in Romania in y days and the UIT was not yet generated) which helps to avoid fines.

Hence, we equip your operational teams with meaningful insights, providing a sophisticated system that not only assists in properly filling in the data needed for RO e-transport purposes, but also enables an efficient communication with the transporter’s team.

This ensures that the effort of being compliant with RO e-transport is not just effective but also efficient, enabling vigilant monitoring tailored to the unique challenges of your business.
