Before you apply

  • Goods handled, suppliers, customers and purchase or consignment arrangements
  • Principal business office, manager and individual or corporate application
  • Website URL and evidence of the right to use it where applicable
We assess whether the actual transactions constitute regulated secondhand trading. Handling used items does not make every business subject to the same procedure. Where a permit is required, the opening schedule must allow for obtaining it first.
