--- title: e-Transport — declare a goods transport description: A plain-language guide for Romanian businesses — when you must declare a goods transport to ANAF, what details you need, how to get your UIT code, and how to fix common problems. No technical background needed. product: TSync Intelligence 11.3.6 language: en canonical: https://docs.tsync.pro/modules/etransport/ source: https://docs.tsync.pro/llms.txt --- # e-Transport — declare a goods transport 🚚 When you move certain goods around Romania (or across the border), ANAF wants to know **before** the truck leaves. You declare the transport, ANAF gives you a code called the **UIT**, and that code has to travel **with the goods**. This is the **e-Transport** system. TSync handles this through the same ANAF connection you set up for e-Factura — so once you're connected, you're ready for both. > ℹī¸ **Heads up — this feature is on its way.** In your current version, > e-Transport is prepared and can be switched on, but the full declaration screen > is still being finished. This page explains the rules **and** how it will work, > so you know what to expect. > 💡 Key words: **ANAF** = the Romanian tax authority. **SPV** = your company's > secure mailbox at ANAF. **UIT** = the unique code ANAF gives each declared > transport — think of it as a "permission number" the goods carry. **CUI / CIF** > = a Romanian company's tax code. --- ## đŸŽ¯ When do I have to declare a transport? Romanian law requires you to declare, **in advance**, transports of goods that the tax authority watches closely (so-called *high fiscal risk* goods). Skipping the declaration, or getting the details wrong, can mean **fines from 5,000 to 100,000 RON** — plus the value of the undeclared goods being confiscated. It's worth getting right. ### Which goods are covered? ANAF keeps an official list. As a rough guide, it includes: | Kind of goods | Everyday examples | |---|---| | **Vegetables & fruit** | Potatoes, onions, apples, citrus | | **Alcoholic drinks** | Beer, wine, spirits | | **Building materials** | Salt, sulphur, cement | | **Clothing & textiles** | Finished garments | | **Footwear** | Shoes and boots | | **Iron & steel** | Bars, sections and similar | | **Meat** | Fresh meat and preparations | | **Mineral water** | Bottled water (plastic and glass) | | **Fuels** | Petrol, diesel and other petroleum products | > 💡 ANAF updates this list from time to time. You can always check the latest on > the ANAF website under the **RO e-Transport** section. ### Does the value matter? Yes — generally: - **Goods coming from or going to another EU country** — declare them whatever the value. - **Transports within Romania** — declare once they pass a set value (ANAF's threshold has historically been a few thousand RON; check their current figure). - **Exports outside the EU** — declare above the threshold. If you're not sure whether a particular load needs declaring, your accountant can confirm it quickly. --- ## 📋 What you'll need before you start To declare a transport you'll need, ready to hand: - **Who's sending** — your company (filled in for you). - **Who's receiving** — the buyer or final destination (you can look them up by their tax code, just like on an invoice). - **The vehicle** — registration plate and country. - **The driver** — name and phone number. - **The route** — where the goods are loaded and where they're unloaded. - **The goods** — a list, with quantity, value and gross weight for each item. --- ## 🔄 How you'll declare a transport ### 1. Start a new declaration Go to **Setup → RO ANAF → e-Transport → Add new**. The screen groups everything into tidy sections: - **General** — the type of transport (within Romania, arriving from the EU, going to the EU, import, export, transit) and the start and expected end dates. - **Parties** — sender (already you), recipient (pick from your customers, or look them up at ANAF), and a separate carrier if someone else is doing the driving. - **Vehicle & driver** — plate number, country, driver's name and phone. - **Route** — the loading address and the unloading address (which can be in another country). - **Goods** — one line per item, with quantity, unit, value in RON and weight. TSync adds up the total for you. ### 2. TSync checks it for you Before anything goes to ANAF, TSync makes sure the essentials are there — all the required fields filled in, a sensible plate number, the start date before the end date, and a total value above zero. It tells you in plain words if something's missing. ### 3. Send it and get your UIT Click **Send**. TSync passes the declaration to ANAF, and ANAF replies with your **UIT** — the unique code for this transport. **Print the UIT on the document that travels with the goods.** If an inspector stops the vehicle, that's the number they'll ask for. ### 4. Check the status Each declaration shows a simple status: | What you see | What it means | |---|---| | 🟡 **Sent** | ANAF has it and is processing it. | | đŸŸĸ **Validated** | Your UIT is issued — the transport is authorised. | | 🔴 **Rejected** | ANAF refused it — the reason is shown. | | âšĢ **Cancelled** | The declaration was cancelled (by you or by ANAF). | > ⏱ **A UIT is valid for up to 5 days** from when it's issued. If the transport is > delayed beyond that, you'll need to declare it again. ### 5. Changing or cancelling a declaration - **Change it** — only **before** the transport actually starts. Once it's under way, you create a fresh declaration instead. - **Cancel it** — fine any time **before** the transport starts. --- ## 🏷ī¸ A note on goods codes Each item on a transport is identified by an official goods code (an 8-digit classification used across the EU). When you fill in the goods, TSync helps you find the right one by name, so you don't have to memorise numbers. If a load contains different kinds of goods, list each kind on its own line. --- ## ⚠ī¸ Common problems and how to fix them ### "Transport type doesn't match the route" **What it means:** you picked, say, "arriving from the EU," but both the loading and unloading addresses are in Romania. **How to fix:** check the transport type against your actual route. "Arriving from the EU," for example, means loading in another EU country and unloading in Romania. ### "Goods code not recognised" **What it means:** the goods code entered isn't valid or is out of date. **How to fix:** use the name search to pick the code rather than typing it. If your product still doesn't appear, check the customs authority's website for the latest codes. ### "This vehicle already has an active transport" **What it means:** the same vehicle is already declared on another transport that hasn't finished. **How to fix:** check your active declarations in the SPV. Cancel the earlier one if that transport is done, or wait for it to expire. ### "The recipient is inactive at ANAF" **What it means:** the customer you're sending to is marked inactive at ANAF — same idea as on an invoice. **How to fix:** confirm the situation with them and, if needed, reconsider the deal. ### "The declared weight is too much for this vehicle" **What it means:** the total weight of the goods is more than the vehicle is allowed to carry. **How to fix:** use a bigger vehicle, or split the load into separate transports with different vehicles. --- ## 🔗 How it works together with e-Factura Because e-Transport and e-Factura share the **same ANAF connection**, you get some nice conveniences: - **One sign-in** covers both — declare a transport and send an invoice with the same connection. - **Look up a recipient** by tax code the same way you do on an invoice, and TSync fills in their details. - **TSync catches a bad tax code** before the declaration goes out. - **The same background sync** that checks your invoices also keeps your transport statuses up to date. In a future version, when you raise an invoice for goods that need a transport declaration, TSync will offer to **create the declaration straight from the invoice** — with the details already filled in. --- ## 📐 e-Transport vs e-Factura — what's different | | e-Factura | e-Transport | |---|---|---| | What it's for | Sending invoices to ANAF | Declaring goods transports | | You get back | A signed invoice | A **UIT** code | | How long it lasts | Permanent once accepted | **5 days** from issue | | When you need it | Business invoices | Only certain goods, above set values | | To reverse / change | Issue a credit note | Edit before start, or declare anew | | Can you cancel? | No — use a credit note | Yes, before the transport starts | --- ## 🛠ī¸ Turning e-Transport on When you're ready (and the feature is live in your version), your administrator: 1. Makes sure **RO ANAF** is active under **Setup → Modules**. 2. Switches on **e-Transport** in **Setup → RO ANAF → Settings**. 3. Decides who's allowed to create and cancel declarations, under **Setup → Roles**. 4. Refreshes the browser — **e-Transport** then appears in the RO ANAF menu. --- ## See also - [Romania — e-Factura & ANAF, the full guide](ro-anaf.md) - [e-Factura — fix a rejected invoice](efactura-errors.md) - [Set up the cron job](../setup-cron-job.md) - [Contact support](../support.md)
