1/28/2021
We have published Intrastat guide 2021
Intrastat guide 2021 is now available.
We would like to once again inform you about the novelties in Intrastat reporting for 2021:
1. Reporting trade in goods with United Kingdom in Intrastat regarding BREXIT
The transitional period for BREXIT ended on the 31st December 2020. From 1st January 2021 Northern Ireland is still connected to the EU custom union, while this not applies to the rest of United Kingdom. Intrastat reporting stays obligatory only for Northern Ireland, while trade with the rest of the United Kingdom can no longer be reported in Intrastat, as it is now subject of the customs controls and formalities.
The following codes have been introduced because of this change:
XI - United Kingdom (Northern Ireland)
XU - United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland)
In the Intrastat system, code XI can be used for reporting the partner country and the country of origin of goods, while code XU can only be used for reporting the country of origin of goods. The GB code is no longer in use in the Intrastat reporting system.
2. Reporting of two new variables (voluntary)
Regulation (EU) No 2019/2152 of the European Parliament and of the Council on 27th November 2019 on European business statistics introduces a mandatory exchange of microdata between EU Member States on exports of goods within the EU (dispatches) together with a mandatory collection of data on two new variables in this flow. These are the VAT identification number of the partner in the Member State of import within the EU (recipient) and the country of origin of the goods. The provisions will apply from 1 January 2022.
This change will also require a change in the format of the XML message and a change in the formats for importing data into the Intrastat application.
The new online Intrastat application, which was funded by the European Union, already enables reporting units reporting the new data elements, on a voluntary basis, with the reference period January 2021, while from January 2022 it will be mandatory.
3. The change of exemption threshold for dispatches of goods
The exemption threshold for dispatches has been reduced and will now amount to EUR 200,000.

Novelties in Intrastat reporting for 2021
For the reference period 2021 in Intrastat reporting next novelties will be introduced:
- The partner country code GB no longer in use in Intrastat: due to the Brexit and the end of the transitional period on 31. December 2020 the partner country code GB will no longer be in use in Intrastat. From 1st January 2021 a customs declaration has to be lodged for imports of goods from the United Kingdom without Northern Ireland (GB without Northern Ireland) and exports of goods to the GB without Northern Ireland, since GB has officially become third country. From this period on the trade in goods with the GB without Northern Ireland has to be excluded from Intrastat reports. You can read more about this on the FURS website.
- Introduction of a new partner country code XI for Northern Ireland: due to the Protocol of the Ireland / Northern Ireland the new partner country code XI was introduced. After 1stJanuary 2021 trade in goods with Northern Ireland will still need to be included in Intrastat reports but this time under the new partner country code XI and not GB, despite the fact that with this period Northern Ireland, together with GB, became a third country.
- Changes to the codes of the country of origin of goods: in 2021, instead of the GB code, which will no longer be in use in Intrastat, two new country codes of origin XI and XU will be introduced. XI applies to goods originating from Northern Ireland and XU to goods originating from the GB excluding Northern Ireland.
- The change of exemption threshold for dispatches of goods: the exemption threshold for dispatches has been reduced and will now amount to EUR 200,000.
1. The changes connected to Brexit and Protocol of the Ireland / Northern Ireland
12/9/2020
Intrastat reporting in 2021 in connection with Brexit and the end of transitional period
According to the information currently gathered, a customs declaration will have to be lodged on 1. January 2021 for imports of goods from the United Kingdom without Northern Ireland (GB without Northern Ireland) and exports of goods to the GB without Northern Ireland. Due to the Brexit and the end of the transitional period on 31. December 2020, trade in goods with the GB without Northern Ireland will be from then on subject to all customs formalities (supervisions, controls, procedures and duties) that are applied to trade with third non-EU countries.
This means that with reference period 202101 trade with the GB without Northern Ireland will have to be excluded from your Intrastat reports.
With this period, the GB partner country code will no longer be valid in Intrastat. However, the above applies exclusively to trade in goods with the United Kingdom without Northern Ireland, but not to the trade in goods with Northern Ireland.
Trade in goods with Northern Ireland will still need to be included in Intrastat reports under the new partner country code XI on the basis of Protocol of the Ireland / Northern Ireland.
This will also be in line with tax legislation. In the event of an extension of the transitional period with the entire GB by the end of the year, the reporting for Intrastat remains unchanged. We will keep you informed about any further developments on this matter. You can read more about this also on the FURS website.

Certificate change in EPOS module

New Intrastat web-application
We would like to inform you we have launched a new web-application for Intrastat reporting and a new Intrastat web-page, which combines the content previously found on our methodological page and the page for reporting entities. This new Intrastat application and update of the new Intrastat web-page was funded by the European Union.
Besides a more modern design the new web-app is bringing two new variables for dispatches of goods (partner ID and country of origin), introduced by new European legislation on Business statistics EBS.
