Main changes in Intrastat 2013

Statistical thresholds

In 2013, the statistical threshold for dispatches of goods will change. Instead of the previous 100,000 euros the statistical threshold for dispatches of goods will be 120,000 euros. It means that in 2013 the Intrastat report has to be submitted by those enterprises which turnover of dispatched goods to the EU countries in 2012 was bigger than 120,000 euros. If the enterprises exceed the statistical threshold during the 2013, they also have to submit the Intrastat data. The statistical threshold for arrivals of goods is 190,000 euros (in 2012 it was 140,000 euros).

In Intrastat reports for 2013, the commodity codes have to be marked according to the Combined Nomenclature 2013. The overview about new codes, deleted codes and correspondences between codes for the current and previous year can be found on the website from the document ”Changes in Combined Nomenclature in 2013“.
