Intrastat is a monthly survey of Sweden’s commodity trade with other EU member states. The survey measures the value and quantity of arrivals and dispatches of goods. The information is distributed by goods and EU countries.

The statistics are used in the National Accounts and in calculating the balance of payments, but also by decisionmakers in business, organisations, and public authorities.

The collection is based on rules that apply to all EU Member States.
