Government approves bill on transition to e-TTN for domestic freight transport

The Government has approved a bill on transitioning to the e-TTN (electronic consignment note) for domestic freight transport, Prime Minister of Ukraine Sergii Koretskyi announced.

According to him, the electronic consignment note will become the main document, and each operation will be confirmed with a qualified electronic signature. A paper consignment note may be issued only where technically impossible to use the electronic one, but its data must still be entered into the electronic system on the same day.

The Head of Government argued that for businesses, this means less paperwork, lower logistics costs, and faster settlements between the customer, carrier, and cargo recipient. For the state, it means transparent tracking of freight transport and a stronger fight against the "grey" market.

Separately, the e-TTN will help protect roads. The consignment note will record the truck's weight and dimensions, making it easier to identify overloaded vehicles that damage road surfaces.

"The system is already operating and proving its effectiveness, and businesses are using it voluntarily. Inspectors check the e-TTN directly on the road, so a paper copy is not needed. Now we are enshrining this approach in law," the Prime Minister stressed.

Sergii Koretskyi noted that the Government is submitting the bill to the Verkhovna Rada and hopes the new rules will take effect on June 1, 2027.

A few notes:

- "Freight transport" is used throughout to match the caption style we settled on earlier.

- If the e-TTN has an established English name on your office's materials (e.g., "electronic consignment note (e-TTN)"), you may want to keep that form consistent across posts.

- "Enshrining" fits the official register; "putting into law" is a plainer alternative.
