What is Intrastat?

Intrastat is (broadly) the system that is used to collect statistics on the trading of goods (not services) between countries that are members of the EU. Although the UK is no longer a member state of the EU, Intrastat obligations still continue in certain circumstances when goods are moved between the EU member states and Norther Ireland (see further below in this guidance note for the circumstances).

Businesses breaching certain thresholds must record physical movements of goods between the UK and the EU on an Intrastat ‘Supplementary Declaration’
