The commodity codes are used for classifying the goods according to EU regulations. Every item shipped from one EU country to another must have a commodity code, which can be entered for every item in the Item file. The codes are printed on supplier and customer order documents, and updated in the EU statistics file. They must be printed on the INTRASTAT declarations.

A list of these codes is available at the local INTRASTAT administration.
Upon updating the EU statistics file, the unit specified in the sales/purchase order will be converted to this reporting unit using the conversion factor. The quantity will be rounded off to the number of decimals specified below.
- Number of decimals
