Frequently asked questions

I distribute solid, liquid or gaseous fuels to retailers or businesses: 46.81.00?
Yes, when you buy and resell fuels and related products at wholesale. If you only act as an intermediary for liquid or gaseous fuels, see 46.12.01; for solid fuels as an agent, compare with 46.12.02.
If I produce biofuels and then sell them, does the code remain wholesale trade?
No, production must be kept separate from trade. For liquid biofuels the comparison is 20.51.00. 46.81.00 covers wholesale of fuels that are purchased and resold.
I import diesel or LPG from abroad to resell to retailers and businesses: do I stay on 46.81.00 or is an importer code required?
Stay on 46.81.00: wholesale of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels includes importing on your own account. If you do not purchase the product yourself but act as an agent for suppliers, the relevant code is the intermediary 46.12.01.
