Frequently asked questions

I buy gold from private individuals or businesses and resell it to professional operators: is it 46.82.21?
Yes, when the activity is wholesale gold buying: you purchase gold or precious metals and resell them to retailers, operators or other wholesalers. If you only act as an intermediary in metals, see 46.12.03; if you sell to private individuals, compare with 47.79.32.
If I also sell finished jewellery or watches, do I still use the gold-buying code?
Not necessarily. 46.82.21 covers gold and precious metals purchased and resold as wholesale gold-buying activity. For finished jewellery, watches and silverware, the comparison is with 46.48.00.
46.82.21 or 46.82.29 if I buy gold from private individuals but also deal in other bulk non-ferrous metals?
These are different activities. 46.82.21 is strictly gold buying — purchasing gold objects for resale to operators; other bulk non-ferrous metals, including industrial gold, belong in 46.82.29. If you carry out both, list both codes.
