In Tallinn, a sales permit is necessary for engaging in peddling, short-term street trading, or trading at public events organised by city institutions.

Peddling is the sale of goods conducted directly from a seller, hand basket, bicycle or other portable inventory carried by the vendor on public land owned by the City of Tallinn.

Short-term street trading is the selling of goods or services on publicly used land owned by the City of Tallinn, limited to no more than two days within one month. Peddling, trading at public events and market trading are not considered short-term street trading.
