1. What is a business industry code?
Business industry code is a series of numbers encoded to represent a specific business line. Organizations and individuals, when preparing business registration documents, must use this business industry code table for registration. The 4-digit (level 4) industry code is the code used for business registration.

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