1. What is a business industry code?
Business industry code is a sequence of numbers encoded to represent a specific business line.

Level 4 industry codes (4 digits) are used for business registration.
The Vietnam Standard Industrial Classification (VSIC) system, issued under Decision 36/2025/QD-TTg, has a hierarchical structure with 5 levels, from general to specific:
| Level | Name | Code | Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|

| Level 4 | Economic sector Level 4 | 4 digits (based on Level 3) | 495 sectors |
