EU eFTI Freight Data
EU authorities must accept freight transport information electronically, from certified platforms, instead of paper documents.
ForHeads of operations and compliance at road, rail and inland waterway carriers and freight forwarders.
What’s changing, and when
The regulation on electronic freight transport information entered into force in August 2020. Since January 2026, platforms and service providers can prepare for operations, and authorities can begin accepting data from certified platforms at inspections. From 9 July 2027 the regulation applies in full, and every member state authority must accept freight information shared electronically through certified platforms.
- Jan 2026 Platforms prepare; authorities may accept their data
- Jul 2027 Authorities must accept electronic freight data
Why it can’t happen in one step
Operators may keep using paper, so carriers, forwarders and inspectors work with paper and electronic documents side by side across every member state.
