In contrast to a commercial activity in a stationary business, the exercise of a traveling trade does not generally require a business registration, but rather an official permit (traveling trade card).
A traveling trade is carried out by anyone who offers, sells, distributes or buys goods or offers services outside of a commercial establishment without prior appointment. This includes, in particular, visiting homes or stores (door-to-door sales) without prior appointment or offering goods and services on the street or in squares, e.g. from non-fixed sales stands.
Furthermore, anyone who carries out entertaining activities as a showman or in the manner of a showman (typical fairground business) is also engaged in a traveling trade.
