One quick clarifying comment: "Other" is used for other energy carriers whereas "Other Sector" is used for other sectors.

Following the ISIC classification https://ilostat.ilo.org/resources/concepts-and-definitions/classification-economic-activities

And the most aggregated level (Agriculture, Industry, Services, see also this issue)

Transport should be declared as a sub-sector of Services, along with Commercial and Residential (and others).
