What is Intrastat? Intrastat (Intra-EU Trade Statistics) is a system for collecting data on the trade in goods between European Union countries. It was established in 1993, following the setting up of the European Union single market and the abolition of customs control at internal borders. Estonia joined it on 1 May 2004. In trade between the European Union countries, the terms “arrivals” and “dispatches” are used instead of imports and exports. Most of Estonia’s trade takes place with European Union countries, which means that data on about 70% of foreign trade transactions must be collected
