Country of Origin

The Country of Origin field on transaction forms shows 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 it's blank, it looks at the Country of Origin field on the Tax Reporting subtab. If that's blank too, the generated Intrastat report uses 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:

Starting January 1, 2022, you need to specify the country of origin for goods from Great Britain and Northern Ireland. This is because Northern Ireland is still considered part of the European Union (EU). 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.
