Ukraine and Estonia are implementing a single e-TTN for carriers

Ukraine and Estonia have started the implementation of a pilot project for the introduction of an electronic waybill (e-TTN) for cargo carriers.

The implementation of the e-TTN pilot project, in particular, will contribute to the development of the digital transport corridor between the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine reports.

Also, the involvement of Estonia in the e-TTN project will allow freight carriers and consignees in Ukraine and Estonia to get rid of burdensome bureaucratic procedures and save money.

In the future, the implementation of e-TTN can become part of a large EU project to introduce a single goods and transport waybill (e-CMR).

In order to improve the work of cargo carriers, the Ministry of Infrastructure, the State Border Service and the State Customs Service are also working on the implementation of the possibility of electronic reservation of queues when crossing the border.

In particular, it is planned to create a special website “Electronic border crossing queue” (E-queue).

We will remind, already this year Ukraine will receive “customs visa-free” with the European Union.

On August 31, Ukraine handed over to the European side the necessary instruments for joining the Convention on the Common Transit Procedure and the Convention on the Simplification of Formalities in Trade in Goods.

In particular, in accordance with the requirements of the EU, Ukraine is introducing NCTS, a technology that connects customs services in the countries participating in the Convention on the common transit procedure, allowing the exchange of customs data. This is a system to which traders submit declarations for placing goods in the common transit regime in electronic form and which is used by the member states of the Convention to control common transit, increases the efficiency and security of the transit procedure.
