This scope item provides system generated Intrastat declarations.
Intrastat is a statistical system used to collect information from enterprises regarding trade between European Union (EU) member states. When the EU was created in 1993 and the initial EU member states became part of the single market, information about their trade with other EU member states could no longer be obtained from customs documents. Intrastat evolved as a replacement to collect information directly from enterprises about dispatches and arrivals of commodities among member states. Today, Intrastat is used for collecting statistics on the trade in goods (services are excluded) between the EU member states.
