4 Form declaration by third parties for intra-Community trade statistics
The online form declaration by third parties provides two options.
Declaration
This form is exclusively intended for service providers that have been commissioned to report data once on behalf of a business responsible for providing information. The basic data of the party responsible for providing information must be entered for each item. If you regularly submit declarations on behalf of other businesses, we recommend that you submit them using your own access details. See Chapter 7.4 of the IDEV general help pages. Use the form declaration for intra-Community trade statistics for businesses for which a declaration is to be submitted in this way.
Nil report
If cross-border movements of goods (arrivals and/or dispatches) did not take place in a reference month, you can send us a nil report in order to avoid questions that might come up when we check the data upon their arrival.
Please be sure that you submit either a declaration or a nil report.
If a server or computer failure occurs during data entry or an incomplete declaration form is exited without the logout, the IDEV system will provide a server backup one hour later. The positions can be selected, supplemented and transmitted as usual. The server backup is available to the declarant until the next successful data transmission. If the data shown have been transmitted in the meantime, the backup can be deleted with the button "Open form without loading backup".
