What this code covers
Use this section for tRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE when the main activity includes The section also includes associated activities (for example, operation of terminal and parking facilities, cargo handling, warehousing and storage, such as the operation of silos, merchandise warehouses, storage tanks). Transport activities classified in divisions 49, 50, 51 and 53 often involve related activities (for example, packaging, goods handling operations, temporary crating, sampling and weighing of goods) which solely support the transport activities. These supporting activities are only to be classified in division 52 if they are performed on behalf of others. and Intermediation services that link customers to transport service providers, except for division 79. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
