# Romania — RO e-Factura mandatory clearance

RO e-Factura mandatory clearance universal since July 2024 — regulator: [Agenția Națională de Administrare Fiscală (ANAF)](<https://www.anaf.ro>). _Facts last refreshed: 2026-07-13._

Coverage model

Flowie operates a registered Peppol Access Point in this jurisdiction **directly** where we hold national accreditation, **or via a vetted local partner** registered with the in-country regulator where on-the-ground presence is required (KSeF, SDI intermediario, ZATCA service-provider, etc.). Either way, you call the same `POST /v1/documents/send`. 

## TL;DR

  * Romania's **RO e-Factura** is a clearance system: every B2B invoice is submitted to ANAF, validated, and a **signed PDF copy** is returned before legal delivery.
  * **Universal B2B** since 1 July 2024.
  * Format: **UBL or CII** with the Romanian **RO_CIUS**.
  * Plus: **SAF-T (D406)** monthly reporting for large taxpayers (extended to all by 2026).



## Deadlines

Date| Who| What  
---|---|---  
2022-07-01| High-fiscal-risk products (B2B)| RO e-Factura mandatory for selected sectors.  
2024-01-01| All B2B reporting (5-day window)| Reporting obligation universal.  
**2024-07-01**|  All B2B clearance| Full clearance — invoices invalid without ANAF acceptance.  
2025-01-01| B2C extension| RO e-Factura extended to B2C invoices.  
2026-01-01| All taxpayers SAF-T| D406 monthly reporting universal.  
  
## Background

Romania's mandate is structurally the same as Italy's SDI: clearance, not just reporting. The difference is speed of rollout — Romania went universal in 18 months, the most aggressive timeline in the EU. Flowie's ANAF integration handles certificate-based authentication, UBL conversion, and clearance polling transparently.

## Format profile

  * **RO_CIUS** on top of UBL 2.1 or CII.
  * **SAF-T (D406)** for tax reporting.

## Required fields

  * seller.taxId.cuistringrequired

## FAQ

### How long does ANAF take to clear?

Typically < 30 seconds, occasionally up to a few minutes during peaks. Flowie's `/v1/documents/send` blocks until clearance returns; if you need async, use `?waitFor=submitted`.
