Why the RO e-Transport system is important
The RO e-Transport program was designed to monitor the movement of goods with high fiscal risk and to combat fraud in the transport and intra-community trade sectors. Implemented by the Ministry of Finance and operated through ANAF SPV, the system requires the electronic reporting of transport details before the transport takes place.
Thus, economic operators must enter into the ANAF SPV system information such as:
Shipper and consignee details;
The category and quantity of transported goods;
Loading and unloading locations;
Vehicle registration number;
Estimated departure and arrival date and time.
After validation, the system generates a UIT code (Unique Transport Identification Code), which must physically or electronically accompany the vehicle throughout the entire transport operation.
Deadline: the end of the grace period is approaching
During the first part of 2025, the authorities reconfirmed that the testing period for reporting within the RO e-Transport system is extended until the end of this year. After this period ends, the lack of correct reporting or delayed data transmission through ANAF SPV will result in significant fines and, in some cases, confiscation of goods transported without a valid UIT code.
According to official communications from ANAF and the Ministry of Finance, penalties will be applied gradually, but firmly. For companies, this means that the rapid integration of automated reporting solutions is not only recommended, but absolutely necessary.
What’s new in the RO e-Transport system in 2025
The year 2025 brought several significant changes to the RO e-Transport system, directly affecting all operators in the logistics and transportation sectors:
Expansion of the list of goods with high fiscal risk
The Ministry of Finance updated the list of products that must be reported through ANAF SPV, including new categories of construction materials, electronic equipment, textiles, and food products. This change aims to cover market segments previously uncontrolled but with increased fiscal risk.
Mandatory reporting also for domestic transport
While the program initially focused on imports, exports, and intra-community transport, starting in 2025 the RO e-Transport system also includes domestic transportation of goods with high fiscal risk between two locations within Romania.
Automatic validation through ANAF SPV
An important technical innovation is the automation of the data validation process. The ANAF SPV system can now automatically detect inconsistencies between declared information and transport documents (invoices, delivery notes, CMR documents). This functionality reduces human error, but requires greater accuracy when transmitting data.
Integration with other national systems
RO e-Transport is now interconnected with RO e-Factura and customs databases. This interconnection enables real-time verification of transaction accuracy and the origin of goods.
Problems encountered by companies and the risks of non-compliance
Although the purpose of the program is clear, many companies face difficulties when using the ANAF SPV platform. Among the most common issues are:
Long processing times for reports, especially during peak hours;
Validation errors caused by non-compliant data formats;
Technical difficulties integrating internal systems with ANAF SPV;
Lack of trained personnel for operating the system;
Uncertainties regarding the interpretation of tax legislation.
These difficulties often lead to incomplete reporting, delays, and fines. Even more serious, in the absence of a valid UIT code, transport operations may be considered non-compliant and sanctioned during fiscal or customs inspections.
The AROBS TrackGPS solution: full integration with ANAF SPV and complete automation
To eliminate these obstacles, AROBS TrackGPS developed a dedicated solution for companies that must comply with the RO e-Transport system requirements. The TrackGPS platform offers a specialized e-Transport module fully integrated with ANAF SPV, enabling:
Automatic transmission of transport data to the ANAF platform;
Automatic retrieval of the UIT code, without manual intervention;
Real-time fleet monitoring and association of transport operations with the corresponding vehicle;
Electronic archiving of all reports and UIT codes;
Alerts and notifications regarding submission deadlines or validation errors.
This intelligent system minimizes human operator involvement, eliminating the risk of mistakes and delays. In practice, through the integration of TrackGPS with ANAF SPV, the reporting process becomes completely automated, secure, and verifiable at any time.
Beneficiile pentru companiile de transport și logistică
Adopting the AROBS TrackGPS solution provides clear advantages:
Actions compliant with RO e-Transport legislation;
Reduction of reporting time from hours to just seconds;
Elimination of risks related to penalties caused by delays or human errors;
Perfect integration with internal ERP, TMS, or CRM systems;
Complete transparency regarding routes and transport documentation.
Beyond legislative compliance, TrackGPS helps companies optimize logistics operations. The platform offers advanced functions for fuel consumption analysis, driver management, detailed performance reports, and much more.
How the connection through ANAF SPV is established
To use the RO e-Transport system, each operator must be registered in ANAF SPV (Virtual Private Space), where authentication and data transmission are performed.
The process involves the following steps:
1. Creating an SPV account on the official ANAF website;
2. Obtaining the qualified digital certificate for electronic signature;
3. Authorizing the individuals who will submit data into the system;
4. Configuring the TrackGPS application for direct integration with ANAF SPV;
5. Testing the connection and automatic validation of data transmissions.
AROBS provides complete implementation assistance, including permanent technical support, to guarantee smooth integration.
What happens after the deadline
After the grace period expires, fiscal controls will intensify, and the RO e-Transport system will become fully operational. Transport operators who fail to comply risk:
Fines between 20,000 and 100,000 RON;
Confiscation of goods transported without a valid UIT code;
Temporary suspension of access to the ANAF SPV system.
On the other hand, companies implementing automated solutions such as those offered by the TrackGPS platform will benefit from a competitive advantage — both through reduced administrative costs and by building a reputation as trusted partners within the logistics chain.
