1. What is a Business Industry Code?
Business industry codes are a series of numbers encoded to represent a specific business industry. Organizations and individuals, when preparing business registration documents, must use this business industry code table for registration. A 4-digit industry code (level 4) is the code used for business registration.
The Vietnam Standard Industrial Classification (VSIC) system, issued under Decision 36/2025/QĐ-TTg, has a hierarchical structure with 5 levels, from general to specific:
| Level | Name | Coding | Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | First-level Economic Industry | 1 letter (from A to V) | 22 industries |
| Level 2 | Second-level Economic Industry | 2 digits (following Level 1) | 87 industries |
| Level 3 | Third-level Economic Industry | 3 digits (following Level 2) | 259 industries |
| Level 4 | Fourth-level Economic Industry | 4 digits (following Level 3) | 495 industries |
| Level 5 | Fifth-level Economic Industry | 5 digits (following Level 4) | 743 industries |
