United States · NAICS 2022
The U.S. federal statistical classification for business establishments, organized around their primary production activity.
This reference uses the 2022 U.S. edition. The Census Bureau also keeps earlier editions available, so confirm the edition requested by your form or recipient. Software Publishers uses 513210 in 2022, replacing the older 511210 code. The older 454110 online-retail heading is not a 2022 catch-all: retail classification now depends on the goods sold, so an online channel alone is insufficient. IndustryCodeFinder offers independent guidance; the authority or organization receiving a code controls the final assignment.
The finder exposes the 2022 Census hierarchy locally: 20 sectors, 96 subsectors, 308 industry groups, 689 NAICS industries and 1,012 six-digit national industries. It imports code, title, level and parent only. It does not reproduce the manual's definitions, examples, inclusions, exclusions or crosswalks.
