What is RO e-Transport System? Key highlights

RO e-transport system monitors the domestic road transport of goods with high fiscal risk as well as the international road transport of all types of goods.

• Description/quantity/value of the goods transported
• Details regarding the loading/unloading place
• Details regarding the means of transport used
• Frontier passing point
