As you know, food products are included in the group of essential goods. Accordingly, the demand for them is extremely high. Specialized industrial enterprises, national conglomerates and corporations, all kinds of plants and factories are among the strategically important business entities that significantly affect the development of the economy and replenishment of the country's budget. For this reason, the sphere of wholesale trade in food products in OKVED is closely monitored by state control bodies.
In particular, to simplify control and save time, a number of code designations were adopted in numerical terms to describe various areas, which are fully indicated in the All-Russian Classifier of Economic Activities of the second edition, adopted in 2016. Now every enterprise engaged in the wholesale of a food group is obliged to indicate precisely these values in the registration documents. Refusal of such actions is an offense and is punishable in accordance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation.
Features and difficulties
It would seem that it is difficult to find the necessary codes in the ready-made table and enter them into the appropriate form when submitting an application. However, this is far from all that a novice entrepreneur or legal entity has to face. The sphere of wholesale trade in the food sector is quite multifaceted and heterogeneous, has a lot of branches, so an inexperienced person may simply not take into account all the nuances that are inherent in this type of activity. For example, you decided to sell meat products to a chain of stores, so it is quite reasonable to indicate in the form No. Р21001 the code with the name ".32" and even added clarifying data in the form of "two", which means the wholesale of meat and poultry products.
However, in most cases, this is not enough for the normal functioning of the enterprise. After all, it is also necessary to deliver goods to the place of retail sale, and this is already transportation services. In addition to everything, there are other related areas, without which such a business entity cannot exist and develop. So it turns out that instead of one code, even with a clarification, the statement is supplemented with 3-5 additional ones. And not every applicant can provide for all of them.
Fortunately, today on the Internet there are special collections for various directions, among which you can find a set of codes for the wholesale trade in food products according to OKVED 2016. This information is presented as an informational one and cannot be perceived as the only correct option, because there are many others sets. But for the purpose of a rough understanding of how this sphere works, the material will be quite enough. And when you understand the nuances, you can start compiling a list of OKVED codes for your own enterprise.
The main directions in the wholesale trade of products
And now we will consider the grouping of types of goods for which the differentiation is made in the All-Russian classifier of types of economic activity:
- Fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as nuts.
- Canned vegetables, fruits and nuts.
- Meat and poultry.
- Products and offal from meat and poultry meat.
- Canned meat.
- Cereals.
- Salt.
- Sugar, confectionery, chocolate, etc.
- Fish and seafood including crustaceans and shellfish.
- Frozen fish and seafood.
- Ice cream and frozen desserts.
- Tea, coffee, spices.
- Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
- Trade in any alcoholic beverages, except for beer and ethyl alcohol.
- Trade exclusively in beer and edible ethyl alcohol.
- Products not included in any grouping.
- Non-specialized products without a specific profile.
- Tobacco products, etc.
Thus, before starting a business, each person should ask himself what codes of the OKVED wholesale trade in food products he will indicate in registration documents and a statement. It often happens that a company starts its activities in one direction, for example, selling confectionery, and then expands the scope to bakery products, cereals and other names. In this situation, in order to legalize work processes, another visit to the relevant authorities will be required to fix new codes. And if you foresee such a scenario in advance, you can enter several types of activities at the very opening and save yourself from the need to waste time on organizational issues. Fortunately, at the legislative level, this is not prohibited and even welcomed.
So, if you decide to try your hand at the wholesale of food, it is worth remembering that this is a complex area, consisting of a lot of branches. Additional awareness from various sources, full preparation for the registration process and a deep understanding of the issue will guarantee that you will not make mistakes at the most crucial moment, and a new enterprise will open in the near future without any violations of the law. So use specialized sites on the Internet and use the information provided competently.
The abbreviation "OKVED" stands for "All-Russian Classifier of Economic Activities".
Serves to business classifications by assigning different numbers to individual entrepreneurs and legal entities.
These numbers carry information about the activities of the entrepreneurial organization and are entered into a directory called OKVED. Each business industry has its own code.
OKVED and food supply
In OKVED, all sections are classified by letters of the Latin alphabet and numbers. Food supply is in the section, denoted by the letter G.
This letter in the directory also denotes the restaurant business and both types of trade in general: wholesale and retail.
Useful information! Paragraph G also regulates everything related to transport, including its operation, repair, as well as driving duties and powers. That is, the letter refers not only to the production, supply, sale of food, but also covers other types of entrepreneurship.
In the section of the all-Russian classifier of types of economic activity, the supply of food is described in section 55.52.
It contains information:
- on the functioning of state organizations who deal with products;
- about private enterprises, whose activities are in one way or another connected with nutrition (production of products, their delivery, sales or organization of consumption).
- about the delivery of food to order: home to the client, to the place of work, for weddings, banquets and corporate events;
- about vehicles(airplanes, trains, etc.) used for the transport and supply of food.
Food production: OKVED codes
The food production process is referred to as DA. Also includes drinks. Section 15 this subparagraph contains specific information about everything that is relevant to this process.
The different types of products are found in the following subsections:
Sale of food products according to OKVED
The All-Russian Classifier of Economic Activities divides trade into two categories: Wholesale and Retail.
Retail has number 52 in the directory, wholesale corresponds to number 51.
Both have a fairly large amount of information on sales of a wide variety of products, but both the first and the second do not include trade in vehicles.
Note: Code 52 does not regulate the repair of household appliances and the sale of personal hygiene items.
OKVED code corresponding to food trade – 52.1.
It includes many narrower areas of economic activity.
Often, entrepreneurs who have just started doing business related to the sale of products indicate exactly it when registering an enterprise, since they have not fully determined what exactly they will sell.
If the entrepreneur has clear intentions in this regard, then it would be much more correct to indicate the code corresponding to the specific direction required. With the subsequent conduct of the business, this will save its owner from possible troubles with statistics and statements.
The fifty-first code, in addition to all of the above, regulates activities of intermediary agents.
At first glance, the all-Russian classifier of types of economic activity seems complex and rather confusing. However, despite all the cumbersomeness, it is a guarantee of the correct regulation of the activities of any enterprise.
