2007 COMMODITY FLOW SURVEY
COMMODITY CODES
INTRODUCTION
This listing provides the 5-digit Standard Classification of Transported Goods
(SCTG) commodity codes that you will use to complete column ’(f)’ of the
shipment characteristics, Item F.
For single shipments of more than one commodity, use the 5-digit code
representing the largest commodity by weight.
It is important that you use the 5-digit SCTG codes in this listing to classify your
commodities. This enables the Census Bureau to uniformly aggregate and present
the data produced from the CFS.

How to Use This Listing
This listing presents the SCTG codes in numerical sequence. Following is an index
to help you find the appropriate 5-digit SCTG code.
Find the major group description (in bold type) that best describes the shipment
and turn to the indicated page. Note: subgroups are included below the major
groups as a guide for locating the correct major group.
To assist in finding the correct 5-digit SCTG code, exceptions or inclusions are
noted using italics, in parentheses. The numbers in the list of exclusions refer to
the first 3, 4, or 5 digits of the correct SCTG code. For example: (except electrical
equipment 359xx). Under SCTG code 359xx the correct 5-digit code may be 35911
(Primary cells and batteries), or 35912 (Secondary cells and storage batteries, etc.).
The term "including" is often followed by examples of products in that particular
product definition. These lists are not all inclusive.
Machinery Parts: In general, machinery parts are included in the same SCTG code
as the machinery for which they are parts. For example, product code 36351
includes motorcycles, and mopeds, and their parts. Exceptions to this rule are
noted where they occur, for example: SCTG 37210, Aircraft, except parts.
