Updated e‑transport timeline signals bigger compliance scope

New timelines, new reporting rules

Greece is moving forward with its digital compliance plans. The latest step? The e-transport framework, which introduces digital tracking of goods alongside e-invoicing and the myDATA platform.

We’ve covered the journey so far in earlier blogs:

Now, Greece’s Ministry of Economy and Finance and the IAPR have updated the rollout plan for e-transport.

New phase deadlines

Phase 1 – submission of transport documents

  • Optional until 1 June 2025 for companies with €200,000+ turnover in certain sectors
  • Mandatory for them from 2 June 2025
  • Mandatory for all other myDATA-subject companies from 1 December 2025

Phase 2 – real-time tracking of goods

  • Optional: 1 August – 30 November 2025
  • Mandatory: from 1 December 2025

What changes for businesses

Unlike e-invoicing, which tracks financial data, e-transport focuses on goods movement. Companies must report transport documents and delivery status digitally, in real-time.
This impacts businesses with:

  • Physical distribution in Greece
  • Operations in regulated sectors
  • ERP systems not yet integrated with myDATA

How to prepare?

  • Adapt systems for e-transport reporting
  • Align with the e-invoicing deadline
  • Automate where possible
  • Partner with experts to ensure readiness

Final thoughts

The extended deadlines give companies room to breathe — but also signal that full digital oversight is around the corner. With e-invoicing and e-transport working together, compliance in Greece is becoming both broader and more connected.
Take this time to assess where you stand and where you need to go. A proactive approach now will pay off when real-time reporting becomes business as usual.
