Intrastat Reports
All traders must supply an Intrastat Report each month. The information on the report varies from country to country, but the basic information is split into header and item data and includes:
• Header:
• Trader detail (VAT number, name, address)
• Period (month, year)
• Flow indications (import, export)
• Total number of pages
• Item Data:
• Origin country
• Destination country
• Port of arrival or departure
• Port of transshipment
• Commodity code
• Net mass in kilograms
• Supplementary units (if required, depending on the commodity code)
The format of the Intrastat Report and the medium (plain paper, preprinted forms, computer disk/tape) must comply with local requirements. Since each country has its own separate specification, reports must be created for each individual country.
