Details for Wholesale Of Radio Television Goods Electrical Household Appliances Other Than Records Tapes Cd S Video Tapes And The Equipment Used For Playing Them

SIC code 46439 is used for businesses carrying out activity in the field of wholesale of radio, television goods & electrical household appliances (other than records, tapes, cd's & video tapes and the equipment used for playing them). 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, 46439 ranks 358th out of 731 five-digit SIC codes, with 1,914 UK companies registered under it, making it a middle-ranking activity code within the full SIC list.

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.

The four-code limit at Companies House is useful here, as many businesses use one code for their main trade and additional SIC codes for secondary services, side operations or closely related commercial functions. The short official label is deliberately compact, so the real-world businesses behind it may describe themselves using broader phrases such as wholesale of radio, television goods & electrical household appliances (other than records, tapes, cd's & video tapes and the equipment used for playing them) services, specialist wholesale of radio, television goods & electrical household appliances (other than records, tapes, cd's & video tapes and the equipment used for playing them) providers, operators in related supply chains, or companies supporting customers who need this form of commercial activity.

In practical terms, the code helps separate this kind of work from neighbouring sectors that may look similar in search results but involve different trading models, assets, customers or regulatory expectations. 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.
