What do import-export companies do?
Import-export companies link suppliers abroad with retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers, trading food, machinery, clothing, raw materials and consumer goods. Inside the European single market goods move without customs checks, so their customs and freight work centres on trade with the rest of the world.
Our data comes from the business registers of 35 European countries. SIC has no code of its own for import-export companies: they sit in SIC codes 5099 (durable goods, not elsewhere classified) and 5199 (nondurable goods, not elsewhere classified), so within that we select them on the CompanyData industry label for import-export companies. In NACE, the European code those registers use, 5,266 of them (100%) sit in classes 46.90 (non-specialised wholesale trade) and 46.19 (agents involved in the sale of a variety of goods), part of division 46 (wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles).
