- The Romanian Customs Authority has launched the National Import System (SNI) on August 1, 2025, to digitalize and streamline customs procedures for imports. Regulated by AVR Order no. 2,478/2025, the system replaces previous methods, offering a faster, transparent, and secure process. Importers must electronically file the Import Customs Declaration (DVI) with a Local Reference Number and a qualified electronic signature. The system generates a Master Reference Number after initial verification, and customs may conduct checks based on risk analysis. Customs clearance is granted post-payment confirmation. The system also supports simplified procedures and has an emergency fallback for system unavailability. AVR Order no. 2,495/2025 addresses tariff quotas, allowing electronic applications for reduced or zero customs duties.
