What G includes

• This section includes wholesale and retail sale of all types of goods (sales without alteration of the product's condition) and services related to sales. Wholesale and retail sale is the final stage of product distribution. Motor vehicle and motorcycle repair is also included here.
• Sale of goods without alteration here includes general operations related to sales, such as sorting by size, quality control, and product aggregation; mixing goods (e.g., sand); bottling (whether or not the bottles are cleaned); packaging; repackaging large quantities of goods for resale in smaller quantities; storing goods (whether or not refrigerated or frozen); cleaning and drying agricultural products; and cutting fiberboard or metal sheets, which are considered supplementary activities.
• Division 45 includes all activities related to the sale and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles, while divisions 46 and 47 cover all other sales activities. The difference between division 46 (wholesale) and division 47 (retail) lies in the "type of customer."
• Wholesale refers to the resale (sales without alteration of the product's condition) of new and used goods to retailers and industrial users. Commercial users, institutional users, professional users, or other wholesalers, or individuals/companies acting as agents or brokers in the sale of goods. Important business types include: Wholesalers, who buy and sell their own products (e.g., wholesalers, distributors, industrial agents, exporters, importers, and cooperatives); branches and sales offices (not retail stores) controlled by separate production units or mines, with the objective of selling goods and rarely ordering directly from factories or production sources; brokers, commission sales, and distributors; and groups of entrepreneurs, buyers, and cooperatives involved in the marketing of agricultural products. Wholesalers often collect, sort, and quality-check goods in large quantities, or repackage and resell larger quantities (e.g., pharmacies that store, refrigerate, distribute, and display goods, conduct sales promotions, and design labels).
• Retail sales refer to the resale (selling unchanged goods), both new and used, to the general public. For personal or household consumption or use through shops, department stores, stalls, mail-order businesses, direct sales by door-to-door salespeople, itinerant vendors, consumer cooperatives, auction houses, etc. Most retailers buy and sell their own products, but some act as agents for head offices and sell on behalf of others as assigned or for compensation/commission.
