Frequently asked questions

I operate an inland freight terminal (interporto) where trucks and freight trains converge: code 52.21.40 or a warehousing code?
It's 52.21.40. The operation of freight movement centres and inland freight terminals (interporti) falls under support activities for land transport. If your activity is storing goods in a warehouse, see 52.10.10.
I survey loads for truck transport: does this fall under 52.21.40?
Yes. Load-surveying activities for truck transport are listed under 52.21.40. The physical loading and unloading of goods for other land transport modes falls under 52.24.40.
I run the freight terminal but I don't transport the goods myself: do I still need a transport code?
No. If you only operate the movement centre, 52.21.40 is sufficient. The physical road transport of goods is a separate activity, namely 49.41.00.
