  1. The contact address for written enquiries has been updated.

  2. This page has been updated because from 1 January 2022, Intrastat will only apply for movements of goods between Northern Ireland and the EU. Movements between Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) and the EU will no longer be covered by Intrastat.

  3. The notice has been updated because the Brexit transition period has ended.

  4. Information about who needs to read this notice has been updated.

  5. Links to the UK Trade Info website have been updated, and information about who should submit Intrastat declarations from 1 January 2021 has been added.

  6. The reference to minimum compound fines of £250 for each offence has been removed.

  7. Section 6.3 of this notice has been updated.

  9. From 1 January 2016 the low value consignments threshold for Intrastat declarations will be £150.

  10. From 1 September 2015, there is a new way of obtaining advice from the Tariff Classification Service on the classification of goods to commodity codes.

  11. The Intrastat Arrivals Exemption threshold has been increased from £1.2 million to £1.5 million from 1 January 2015 (see paragraph 3.1). If you supply goods to vessels and aircraft visiting a UK port or airport that belong to economic owners established in another EU member state, you must now use the simplified country code 'QR' when the goods are for the consumption of the crew and passengers or for the operation of the vessel (see paragraph 16.2).
