Which code does this activity belong in?
News dealers and newsstands are retail establishments that focus primarily on current newspapers, magazines, and periodicals as their main merchandise. They differ from book stores, which are classified separately and focus primarily on retailing new books. While both types of establishments may stock some overlapping merchandise, the distinction turns on which product category constitutes the primary business focus of the establishment.
