In addition to VAT returns, foreign companies trading in Slovakia may be required to complete statistical reports, or ‘Intrastats’, on the movement of goods across the national borders. This can include both sales and acquisitions to/from other companies as well as the movement of goods by the same company.
If resident or non-resident companies move goods across the Slovakian national border to or from other EU countries, there may be a requirement to complete monthly Intrastat reporting.
Intrastat filings list the goods sent out of Slovakian, ‘dispatches’, as well as goods brought into Slovakian, ‘arrivals’. It is a system introduced in 1993 with the launch of the EU free trade market since customs borders and reporting were withdrawn. Intrastat does not apply if the goods are coming in from outside of Europe (‘imports’) or being sent out of the EU (‘exports’).
Intrastat returns only need to be completed once the reporting thresholds are exceeded.
The threshold for Slovakian Intrastat arrivals is €200,000. For Intrastat dispatches the Slovakian threshold is €400,000.
Arrivals | Dispatches |

€200,000 | €400,000 |
Each movement of goods across the Slovakian national border to another EU country must be listed.
This shipment list should include the trade classification, description of goods, value, mode of transport, quantity, weight, commodity code and country of arrival or dispatch.
