What is Intrastat?

Intrastat is a system for collecting data on trade between EU member states, and the monthly report is submitted electronically in the prescribed format of the statistical Intrastat form.

WHO SHOULD SUBMIT INTRASTAT REPORTS?

All business entities in Croatia that meet the following conditions:

have a Croatian VAT ID number
trade with other EU countries
they have crossed the annual Intrastat entry threshold

- arrivals = 2 200 000 HRK
- dispatches = 1 200 000 HRK.

HOW TO BECOME AN INTRASTAT REPORTING OBLIGATOR?

Self-applying - after you have determined that you crossed the annual threshold for intra-EU trade in goods.
Mandatory application - if you failed to apply by self-applying, the Customs Service and the Central Bureau of Statistics determine the obligation.
Voluntary application - If you trade within the EU and do not exceed the annual threshold, you can volunteer in the Intrastat system.
