Intrastat is a declaration, which is usually done monthly, that produces statistics on the trade in goods between member states of the European Union (where arrival and dispatch flows are separated).

The application allows you to prepare the information to be declared.

The process is as follows:

  • Extraction of the software database lines. This operation is used to generate the lines to be communicated to the Customs administration. This extraction is based on the documents from the Distribution module that contain automated and editable dedicated fields.
  • Update (deletion/modification) of the lines calculated by the automatic extraction process before transfer to the Customs administration to take into account any specific cases not managed by the software.
    These modifications will only apply to the extracted lines. The source flows are not updated.
  • Transfer to the Customs administration. This transfer can be performed:
    • Manually, from the Customs site
    • Using import/export templates These templates are specific to each country and have different codes: FREECEXP (shipments) and FREECINT (introductions) for France.
    • Uploading XML files generated by the EDI process onto the Customs site: EDIDEB - Generation of EDI Intrastat files.

Using the Intrastat file management function, you can modify the previously generated declaration by modifying, canceling or creating lines.

  • Description (field ITMDES1)

 

  • Commod. code (field CUSREF)

Customs reference
Alphanumeric code composed of 12 characters used to identify the product in case of customs statements.

Name of the nearest port. It is necessary to have entered miscellaneous table 951.

  • Receiving/issuing country (field DESCRY)

Destination country or country of origin of the goods.

  • Country of origin (field ORICRY)

The country code for the origin of the goods, initialized to the country code associated with the order supplier.
This field is used to indicate the country where the goods originated in the sense of EU customs rules on the origin.
For the INTRASTAT exchange of goods declaration, the EU country code field associated with this code in the country table is used.
SEEINFOFor supplier returns this will be the destination country.

 

The EU or statistical rules are used to specify the nature of the EU transaction from a tax or statistical point of view. The EU rule is used in the Intrastat.
This information is initialized using the physical flows where it can be modified. This information can also be accessed from some financial flows (sales invoices and credit memos).
The initialization of the nature of the transaction is carried out according to the parameters of the comparison table for the Movement rules and natures, which is used to associate an EU rule and an EEU transaction nature to each type of flow. This setup can be adjusted by rule, country and group of companies.

This is the economic information on the performed transaction. The nature of the transaction is used in the Intrastat.
This information is initialized using the physical flows where it can be modified. This information can also be accessed from some financial flows (sales invoices and credit memos).
The transaction nature is initialized according to the setup of the correspondence table for the Movement rules and natures. This table is used to associate an EU rule and an EU transaction nature to each flow type. This setup can be adjusted by rule, country and group of companies.

  • Transport mode (field EECTRN)

The transport method by which the goods are presumed to leave their national territory on shipment (export) or to have arrived in on receipt (import). This information is used in the Customs document file.

  • Transport location (field EECLOC)

A transport location must be specified in the EU exchange declaration. It is combined with the Incoterm code in order to determine the delivery conditions referring to the sales contract terms that specify the respective obligations of the buyer and seller.

This information is not used in the French declaration.

The Incoterm codes, set by the International Chamber of Commerce, seek to standardize the terms the most used in the international commerce by defining the respective responsibilities of the seller and the buyer agreed upon on establishement of the sales contract by a unique word similarly understood throughout the world.

The Incoterm code, controlled in Incoterm table is used in the INTRASTAT file (Exchange of goods declaration). It can also be used to define the price lists.

It displays the original or target Federal state/region of the product.

  • EU net weight (field NETMAS)

Net mass of the goods expressed in kilograms.

  • Intrastat additional units (field EECUNT)

This is the additional EU unit in which is expressed the quantity issued for the Customs Document File.

  • EU fiscal value (field FISAMT)

The fiscal value of the goods corresponds to the amount of the journal lines, to which it is possible to add the invoicing elements, if their setup is aimed at being a part of the fiscal value calculation. These elements are distributed depending on how their distribution over the lines is set up. The non-distributed elements over the lines are distributed in proportion to the amounts of the line with respect to the total of the journal (if the total of the journal is not equal to 0).

This value is converted into the company's currency (instead of the journal's currency) using the rate type defined by the setup of the TC chapter, CDF group: EECTYPCUR - EU currency rate type, and the rate at the date of the journal.

 

  • Statistic value (field STAAMT)

The statistical value of the goods is calculated by applying the fiscal value (without the invoicing elements, including those integrating the fiscal value), the EU increase coefficient defined in the ship-to customer record or supplier, then, by adding the invoicing elements when their setup is aimed at being a part of the fiscal/statistical value calculation.
This value is converted into the company's currency (instead of the journal's currency) using the rate type defined by the setup of the TC chapter, CDF group: EECTYPCUR - EU currency rate type, and the rate at the date of the journal.
