General

The Dutch Intrastat report can be either printed as a report that includes export and import transactions, or can be created as a file. The report is meant to be an aid when checking the content of the file or filling in the official forms.

Reporting is completely performed for a reporting period at a single occasion. Changes or additions to a period already reported have to be made on paper using the official forms.
