Electronic seals introduced for fuel tankers to combat smuggling and tax evasion

Finance Minister Petrit Malaj has inspected the new electronic sealing system at Porto Romano. The system will apply to all tankers transporting hydrocarbons in Albania, covering the entire transport chain from entry points to exit points and enabling electronic monitoring of tanker movements.
According to Malaj, the system will simplify procedures for businesses transporting hydrocarbons. At the same time, it will help customs authorities combat smuggling and tax evasion. The minister highlighted four main benefits: protecting public revenue, improving business efficiency, reducing customs operating costs and fighting fiscal evasion and smuggling.
The new mechanism also aims to strengthen control and traceability across the hydrocarbon transport chain. As a result, authorities will be able to monitor tanker movements across the country more effectively.
