- What is the UIT code?
According to Emergency Ordinance 41/2022, the term UIT was introduced when the RO e-transport system was launched. The UIT code is a unique code generated by the RO e-transport system that certifies the declaration of high-risk goods shipments within this system.
- How long is the UIT code valid for a shipment?
According to the ANAF RO e-Transport guide, the UIT code is valid for 5 calendar days, or 15 calendar days in the case of intra-Community acquisitions of goods, starting from the date declared for the start of transport. The road transport operator is prohibited from using the UIT code beyond its validity period.
- Who is responsible for filing a declaration in the RO e-Transport system and obtaining the UIT code for intra-Community acquisitions?
For intra-Community acquisitions, the responsibility for filing a declaration in the RO e-Transport system and, consequently, for obtaining the UIT code lies with the recipient in Romania, regardless of who arranges or performs the transport.
- What data/documents must be entered to generate the UIT code?
e-Transport includes IT modules for managing the transport of goods, through which data regarding the shipper and consignee, the name, quantities, characteristics, and value of the goods transported, the loading and unloading locations, details regarding the means of transport used, as well as the generated UIT code are recorded.
- Is it mandatory to obtain the UIT code for the transport of high-tax-risk goods between two business locations of the same economic operator, located within Romania?
Yes, for the transport of high-tax-risk goods belonging to the same economic operator between two locations within the country, from the loading point to the unloading point, it is mandatory to obtain the UIT code.
