Intrastat provider programs

You can use an external program to generate the Intrastat reports. You can use the Process Intrastat Transactions (tccom7271m000) session to generate a sequential file that contains the required data and import the file into the external program.

The local authorities in each European Union (EU) member state provide you with the requirements for the report. You use the external program to define the report layout.

You must supply the external program with information about the layout of the sequential file. See also Intrastat data. The sequential file that LN creates can contain the maximum number of fields that are used in the EU.

Most Intrastat applications check the data and provide the possibility to correct the data. However, the LN EU Intrastat solution helps you to set up the Intrastat declaration data in such a way that making manual corrections afterwards is usually not needed.

For example, at the time when this is written you can use one of the following programs:

• IDEP/CN8 (Intrastat Data Entry Package), used in many European countries.
• CBS-IRIS (Interactive Registration of International Trade Statistics), used in The Netherlands.
• IDES, used in Germany.
• Excel, used in the UK.

You can obtain these programs free of charge and install them on your PC.
