Forensic Analysis

DZ requiredSubstance: STANDARDAI-derived

Postal activities under ISIC 5310 are generally considered regulated domestic services or universal service obligations. Unlike ISIC 5320 (Courier activities), 5310 does not typically fall under the definition of 'Logistics Services' as defined in the Qualifying Activity lists. Income derived from these activities is treated as non-qualifying, potentially breaching the de minimis threshold if not carefully segregated.
