About this level
Practical summary
Class 5229 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under H Transportation and Storage > 52 Warehousing and Support Activities for Transportation > 522 Support activities for transportation. This class usually fans out into more specific subclasses such as Freight Forwarding Services, Customs Brokerage (ship and Aircraft), and Logistics Services. It is the level people use when they already know the activity family but still need the exact five-digit match.
Administrative context
Where this code is used
This class is used when a business can already narrow the activity family and only needs to compare the final subclasses such as Freight Forwarding Services, Customs Brokerage (ship and Aircraft), and Logistics Services. It is the level most often checked before a five-digit decision is finalized.
Selection note
How to choose it
Use this class to choose between its final subclasses such as Freight Forwarding Services, Customs Brokerage (ship and Aircraft), and Logistics Services. If two options look close, compare the exact activity, the outputs and the way the business actually earns revenue.
