Germany raises Intrastat reporting thresholds from January 2025
Destatis (the German Federal Statistical Office) increased the Intrastat reporting thresholds as of January 2025. For intra-EU arrivals (imports) the threshold is now €3 million (current or previous calendar year), up from €800,000. For dispatches (exports) it is now €1 million, up from €500,000. Companies above only one threshold report that flow; above both, they report both. The change is intended to reduce the reporting burden for smaller traders. Simplified declaration rules for assorted goods were also expanded.

Impact for you If you trade with Germany and were below the old thresholds but near the new ones, you may now have an obligation. If you were just above the old thresholds, you may no longer need to report—check your flows against the new figures. See Intrastat by country for current thresholds and deadlines.
How EasyIntrastat helps We keep track of threshold and rule changes per country and validate your data against current requirements, so you don't have to monitor each authority yourself.
