Wholesale Of Coffee Tea Cocoa And Spices

Details for Wholesale Of Coffee Tea Cocoa And Spices

SIC code 46370 is used for businesses carrying out activity in the field of wholesale of coffee, tea, cocoa and spices. In plain English, it is likely to include retailers, ecommerce traders, catalogue sellers, online shops, marketplace merchants and consumer goods businesses, with day-to-day activity often involving product sourcing, merchandising, customer orders, fulfilment, returns and direct-to-consumer trading. As of June 2026, 46370 ranks 226th out of 731 five-digit SIC codes, with 5,080 UK companies registered under it, making it a moderately used SIC code with a defined commercial footprint.

This sits within a classification system that has been used in the UK since the 1940s; Companies House filings moved from 4-digit SIC 2003 codes to the current 5-digit SIC 2007 scheme in 2008–2009, bringing the UK register into line with NACE Rev. 2. Where this is only part of a wider business model, the ability to file up to four SIC codes lets UK companies describe several genuine activities rather than forcing everything into one broad category.

The short official label is deliberately compact, so the real-world businesses behind it may describe themselves using broader phrases such as wholesale of coffee, tea, cocoa and spices services, specialist wholesale of coffee, tea, cocoa and spices providers, operators in related supply chains, or companies supporting customers who need this form of commercial activity. It is also useful for analysts, lenders, marketers and public bodies because it gives a consistent way to group companies by declared activity, even though the description is not a licence, approval or guarantee of what a company actually does day to day.

A company using this code might be newly incorporated, dormant, small and owner-managed, or part of a larger group, so the SIC entry should normally be read alongside accounts, confirmation statements, websites and other commercial signals. The classification is especially valuable when comparing suppliers, prospecting for customers, segmenting a database, reviewing competition or checking how a company presents its principal line of business on the public record.
