SENT: monitoring transport of sensitive goods in Poland

What the SENT system is, which goods it covers, how to register a movement in PUESC and why geolocation is required.

SENT is the system for monitoring road and rail transport of goods, introduced by the Act of 9 March 2017. It covers so-called sensitive goods, including fuels, denatured alcohol, dried tobacco and certain oils. The movement is registered in PUESC, the system assigns a SENT reference number, and geolocation is required during the carriage.
