Country of Origin

The Country of Origin field on transaction forms refers to the country where the goods were harvested, manufactured, or substantially changed.

This field is shown as a dropdown list of countries on the Tax Reporting subtab and on the Items sublist of the transaction.

When you generate the Intrastat report, the system looks for this value in the item line. If no value is found, the system then looks at the Country of Origin field on the Tax Reporting subtab. If the field is also blank, the generated Intrastat report shows the values below:

QU in Germany, Belgium, and United Kingdom (Northern Ireland) Intrastat Dispatch (Sales) report
QV in Netherlands Intrastat Dispatch (Sales) report

You can also select the following entries from the Country of Origin field to display specific codes on the Intrastat Dispatch report:

Unspecified countries and territories – QU
Unspecified countries and territories (Intra-EU trade) – QV
Unspecified countries and territories (Extra-EU trade) – QW

Note:

Effective January 1, 2022, the country or origin of goods from Great Britain and Northern Ireland must be specified because Northern Ireland remains part of the European Union. From the Country of Origin dropdown list, select United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland) for goods coming from Great Britain and United Kingdom (Northern Ireland) for goods coming from Northern Ireland. The Intrastat report displays XU for Great Britain and XI for Northern Ireland.
