The Ministry of Finance published a draft Emergency Ordinance (Ordinance) introducing a mandatory e-transport system for monitoring certain goods on the national territory starting from the 1st of July 2022.
Before this, in December 2021 Romania announced mandatory usage of the RO e-Factura system for high-fiscal risk products in B2B transactions starting from 1 July 2022, and now they are taking the next step. The RO e-Transport system will be interconnected with existing IT systems at the level of the Ministry of Finance, the National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF) or the Romanian Customs Authority.

According to the draft Ordinance, the transportation of high-fiscal risk products will be declared in the e-transport system a maximum of three calendar days before the start of the transport, in advance of the movement of goods from one location to another.
The first question that comes to mind is what the definition of high-fiscal risk products is. The Romanian Ministry of Finance had already established a list of high-fiscal risk products for mandatory usage of the RO e-Factura system. However, it is still unknown if the high-fiscal risk product list will stay the same. The Ministry of Finance will establish a subsequent order defining the high-fiscal risk products in the coming weeks.
If the authorities decide that the transportation includes both goods with high-fiscal risk and other goods that are not in the category of high-fiscal risk, the whole transportation would need to be declared in the RO e-Transport system. Following the publication, the Ministry of Finance will establish subsequent orders to define the categories of road vehicles and the list of high-fiscal risk products for the RO e-Transport system.
The RO e-Transport system is established to monitor the transportation of high-risk goods on the national territory.
The following transportations are in scope:
- Domestic transportation between different economic operators
- Domestic transportation between two locations belonging to the same economic operator
- Intra-community acquisitions
- Intra-community deliveries
- Imports and exports
- Transport of goods that are subject to intra-community transactions in transit through Romania
The carriage of goods intended for diplomatic missions, consular posts, international organizations, the armed forces of foreign NATO Member States or as a result of the execution of contracts, are not in the scope of the RO e-Transport system.
