Tier 1E rules do not prevent you from doing any business

I think reply of this question is not straight forward. Please carefully read Rule 39 in Appendix A of Immigration Rules reproduced below: -

39(c) A business will be considered to be a UK business if the applicant provides the specified evidence in this Appendix to show that:
(i) it is trading within the UK economy,
(ii) it has its registered office in the UK, or, in the case of multinational companies with no UK registered office, its head office in the UK, except where the applicant is registered with HM Revenue & Customs as self-employed and does not have a business office,
(iii) it has a UK bank account, and
(iv) it is subject to UK taxation.

39(c)(i) requires that "it is trading within the UK economy". Please get legal view whether export trading is trading within UK economy?
