What is Intrastat?

Intrastat (Intra-EU Trade Statistics) is the special data system for collecting statistics on the trade in goods between the Member States of the European Union (EU). The Intrastat system became operational in 1993 with the creation of the EU Common Market when the customs checks on the EU internal borders disappeared. This meant that the production of foreign trade statistics using the data from customs declarations was no longer possible. Consequently, it became necessary to collect the data directly from economic units engaging in foreign trade.
