Questions & Answers

    A business establishment can have one (1) Primary NAICS code, which is determined by the industry that generates the highest revenue or value of shipments. If the establishment engages in multiple activities, it may also have additional Secondary NAICS Codes to reflect those other business operations.

  • How do I apply for a NAICS Code?

    NAICS codes are typically assigned by statistical agencies based on the information businesses provide through surveys, application forms, reports, or other methods.

  • I need a NAICS Code for my business.
    How do I get it?

    To find the NAICS code that best fits your business, use the NAICS code lookup tool on this page. Enter a keyword that describes your business type, and a list of relevant primary business activities along with their corresponding NAICS Codes will be displayed. Select the code that most accurately represents your primary business activity. Be sure to verify that the chosen code aligns with your industry sector; for instance, if you are a shoe manufacturer, do not select the NAICS code for shoe retailers, even if it appears in the search results.

  • Who assigns NAICS codes to businesses?

    The assignment of NAICS codes varies by government agency, each employing its own methodology. For example, the Social Security Administration assigns a NAICS code to new businesses based on the information provided in their application for an Employer Identification Number (EIN). The Census Bureau typically assigns codes based on survey data, while the Bureau of Labor Statistics initially assigns a NAICS code based on the business activity information provided during the application for unemployment insurance.
