Which code does this activity belong in?
Private mail centers are distinguished from other business service centers by their primary focus on mailbox rental and mailing services. While both types of establishments may offer supplementary office support services such as facsimile, word processing, and PC rental, private mail centers are defined by their emphasis on postal and mailing operations as their core business activity. Establishments primarily engaged in providing document copying services without mailing operations as a central function are classified in Other Business Service Centers instead.
