- Intrastat reporting tracks the movement of goods (not digital goods or services, except for services in Italy) between EU Member States for statistical purposes.
- Each EU country sets its own annual thresholds for arrivals and dispatches, and reporting frequency is usually monthly but can vary.
- The value reported generally excludes VAT and may or may not include freight/insurance, depending on the country.
- Movements of goods between warehouses in different EU countries and use of EU fulfilment centres can affect Intrastat thresholds in multiple countries.
- Businesses must keep supporting records (invoices, transport documents, etc.) for 5–10 years, and rules for returns and corrections vary by country.
