What is an IC file?

IC files mostly belong to 7-Zip. IC files are compressed archives that store XML data used for Intrastat reporting.
They use the ZIP format to bundle data into a single file, which makes it easier to transfer and store statistical trade information.
Key details compiled by FilExt.com:

Internal format: ZIP

Data type: XML

Purpose: Compressed Intrastat archive

FilExt.com note: You can open these files with archive utilities such as 7-Zip or WinZip by renaming the file extension to .zip if necessary. Once extracted, use any text or XML editor to review the contents.

How to open IC files

You need a suitable software like 7-Zip to open an IC file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your IC file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a IC file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

IC file format:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Below is our analysis of the IC files:

The IC file extension is rather rarely used and includes various formats for various programs. But the following two file formats are common:

• 45% of all IC files are based on the popular GZIP file format. Gzip is a compressed archive file format. Gzip (GNU zip) is only capable of compressing a single file. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. Most of these files are 330 bytes to 33 KB in size. The file type was created recently. These files are attributed to save.
• 10% of all IC files use ZIP compression, i.e. an IC file contains several compressed files. The number of files included is on average 1 and ranges from 1 to 1. File names inside are always VatIntra.xml. You can see the included files and images by renaming the file extension to .zip and then double-clicking it. A typical file size is 1 KB. The files contain the following words: VatIntra.xml. Files like these are sometimes connected to consignment, intravat, encoded, screen and data.

All other IC files (45%) have no consistent format. These files are often connected to graphics, icon or qvga. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your IC file!
