Understanding the SEMDEC Interface for Intrastat Reporting

SEMDEC is the acronym for Single European Market Declaration.

Intrastat reports are based on the information in the Intrastat Revision table (F0018T). Although the information that is required to appear on the Intrastat report is common for most EU members, report formats vary from country to country.

As of January 1, 1999, businesses in the United Kingdom can submit Intrastat information to HM Customs and Excise in any of three formats:

  • Electronic (using diskette, magnetic tape, or electronic mail).

  • Preprinted government form (paper).

  • Government form posted on the internet.
