### 1. Substance of the Resolution
This government act lays the legal and organizational foundation for the full-scale implementation of electronic consignment notes (e-TTN) in the field of domestic road freight transport. The document defines the architecture of the future “Electronic Consignment Note” information and communication system, which is intended to replace obsolete paper-based document workflow in logistics. The Resolution clearly allocates roles among government authorities, the technical administrator, private platform operators, and the direct participants in transport operations. In fact, through this act, the state is launching unified rules for digital interaction for the entire transport market of Ukraine.
### 2. Structure of the Act and Main Provisions
The Resolution has a clear and concise structure consisting of 6 paragraphs:
* **Paragraph 1** is foundational and contains 10 subparagraphs that define the terminology (the conceptual framework — what the e-TTN system, platform, operator, and process participant are), vest the ownership rights to the system in the state as represented by the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories, and designate the State Enterprise “Branch Center for Digitalization and Cybersecurity” as the technical administrator.
* **Paragraphs 2–3** regulate the powers of the State Service of Ukraine for Transport Safety (Ukrtransbezpeka) regarding the verification of e-TTNs and the procedure for its information interaction with the relevant Ministry.
* **Paragraph 4** determines that the interaction of the e-TTN system with other state registries (in particular, the State Tax Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs) will be carried out through the “Trembita” system.
* **Paragraph 5** provides the Ministry with a three-month period to develop and approve the detailed Procedure for the Functioning of the System.
* **Paragraph 6** establishes the date of entry into force — June 5, 2026.
Since this is a foundational document that establishes a new regulatory mechanism, it does not amend previous resolutions, but instead creates an entirely new digital infrastructure “from scratch.”
### 3. Key Provisions for Practical Application
For business and supervisory authorities, the key practical aspects are as follows:
* **Scope of Users and Inspectors:** Access to the system will be granted not only to carriers and shippers, but also to supervisory authorities — the State Tax Service (for tax control), the National Police, Ukrtransbezpeka, and the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection (Derzhprodspozhyvsluzhba). This means that cargo inspection on the road or within a tax audit will be carried out in real time through the e-TTN system.
* **Two-tier Connection:** Participants in the transport process (drivers, shippers, carriers, consignees) do not connect directly to the state system. They will operate through private electronic document management platforms (providers), which, in turn, conclude paid agreements with the state technical administrator and undergo the onboarding procedure.
* **Funding:** An important nuance is that the functioning of the system in the initial stages will be supported by international technical assistance and EU grants, which is intended to guarantee the stability of its operation without additional burden on the state budget.
* **Launch Timeline:** The Resolution shall enter into force on June 5, 2026, and the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories must approve the detailed Procedure for the Functioning of the System within three months after this date. This gives the market time for technical preparation.
