Which code does this activity belong in?
Deep Sea Freight Transportation covers establishments that transport cargo between foreign ports and the United States. The key distinction is the cargo versus passenger focus; establishments transporting passengers on deep sea routes are classified in Deep Sea Passenger Transportation. Additionally, this code applies only to foreign port services, whereas Coastal and Great Lakes Freight Transportation covers cargo movement between United States ports, Puerto Rico, and United States island possessions, even when using deep sea routes for such domestic-to-domestic transportation.
