Overview
Extrastat is the collection of trade statistics for movements of goods between EU and non-EU countries. While Extrastat is a common EU requirement, in most countries the customs authorities collect the data.
You can collect and report Extrastat data for the Netherlands only. Extrastat data collection is very similar to Intrastat and uses the same database tables for storing information.
A few additional data elements are collected:
• For imports and exports, you must indicate whether the goods were transported in a container.
• For imports, a code is required indicating the customs rate used when importing from developing countries.
