Serbia’s Mandatory e-Delivery System: What You Need to Know
From January 1, 2026, Serbia is launching a mandatory electronic delivery note system, known as e-Delivery (E-Transport). This is a big step in digitizing logistics and improving transparency for all companies operating in Serbia.
Whether you're in compliance, logistics, or IT, this guide will help you understand what’s changing and how to prepare.
Melasoft, with hands-on experience delivering e-Delivery and e-Transport solutions across multiple countries, is here to support your transition.
What is Serbia’s e-Delivery (E-Transport)?
The e-Delivery system replaces paper consignment notes with digital delivery notes, sent through a centralized government platform. It includes critical shipment details: sender, recipient, product info, transport data, timestamps, and confirmation of receipt.
Goals of the system:
-
Track goods in real time
-
Prevent tax fraud
-
Streamline logistics workflows
-
Ensure better VAT compliance
Serbia joins other countries in adopting digital logistics systems for a safer and more efficient transport sector.

File Format: UBL 2.1 XML
The e-delivery note must follow UBL 2.1 XML, Serbia’s standard for digital documents. This ensures automation, interoperability, and real-time validation.
You’ll need systems that can:
Generate UBL XML files
Submit them through API, web, or mobile
Receive electronic confirmations
What’s Inside an E-Delivery Note?
Each document must include: Sender & recipient details Product codes, quantity, and descriptions Transport vehicle and time data Unique consignment numbers Proof of delivery (confirmation or rejection) Everything is securely stored and auditable by authorities.
