Are you really sure there's no paperwork when trading within the EU?

> There is no paperwork or customs between EU countries. That’s kind of the point.

I invite you to have a look at the trade statistics between Germany and its trading partners. Not because the values are particularly interesting but to think about this question: if there is no paperwork at all then where does the raw data for trade statistics between Germany and its fellow EU members come from?
