Frequently asked questions

I work as a delivery rider for food orders — is this the right ATECO code?
Yes, home delivery — including food delivery — and express messenger (pony express) services fall under 53.20.00. The platform that takes the order, however, does not deliver anything itself: it uses 53.30.00, because it intermediates rather than delivers.
Private courier or universal postal service — which code do I choose?
If you operate outside the universal service obligation — as a private courier or express messenger — the code is 53.20.00. The universal postal service provider uses 53.10.00.
I deliver parcels with my own van — is that courier or freight forwarding?
Collection, sorting, and delivery of letters and parcels is courier activity, i.e. 53.20.00. If instead you organise transport on the client's behalf, complete with transport documents and multimodal arrangements, that is freight forwarding: 52.26.02.
