ANAF has prepared a procedure for electronic transport or, as it is also called, commodity radar. This currently applies to goods with a high fiscal risk. This is currently a matter of discussion.

According to the document, the IT application for managing transport with high fiscal risk, which is part of the national RO e-transport system, will be available in the Virtual Private Space (SPV) IT system.

The categories of road vehicles subject to monitoring are vehicles with a technically permissible maximum weight of at least 2.5 tons, loaded with high fiscal risk cargo with a total gross weight of more than 500 kg or a total value of more than 10,000 lei, associated with at least one consignment goods that are the object of transportation.

After the transfer of data related to the transportation of goods with a high fiscal risk, the RO electronic transport system automatically assigns a unique identification number (UIT), which is used as a reference in the processes and operations specific to the system.

In the RO electronic transport system, data relating to the consignor, beneficiary or consignee, the name, characteristics, quantity and value of goods transported, places of loading and unloading, details of the vehicle used and the carrier, the declared date for the start of transport, and the code generated UIT.

We will remind you that the sanctions on electronic transport were recently postponed until January 1, 2023.

There are several types of fines in e-Transport. Two of them:

Declaring in the RO electronic transport system quantities other than those that are the object of transportation of goods is punishable by a fine of 10,000 to 50,000 in the case of individuals or a fine of 20,000 to 100,000 lei in the case of legal entities, as well as confiscation of the value undeclared goods.

The driver of the vehicle is obliged to present, at the request of the competent authorities of the National Tax Administration or the Customs Administration of Romania, the documents accompanying the transportation of goods with a high fiscal risk. If he does not do this, he will be fined between 5,000 and 10,000 lei.
