Understanding Intrastat

Why this course?

Companies who have significant trade with the EC are legally obliged to declare the statistics of the movement of their goods to Customs. This must be done in a specific format and in a timely way. Penalties (significant fines) can be imposed if this is not done satisfactorily. As the EC expands, more companies become included in this requirement.

The course explains these legal obligations in a simple way, making this necessary bit of bureaucracy as painless as possible!

At the end of the course you will be able to handle your necessary Intrastat obligations in as efficient a way as possible.
