1. What is a business industry code?
Business industry code is a sequence 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. Level 4 industry code (4 digits) is the code used for business registration.
The Vietnam Standard Industrial Classification (VSIC) system, issued under Decision 36/2025/QD-TTg, has a hierarchical structure consisting of 5 levels, from general to specific:
| Level | Name | Code | Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | First-level economic industry | 1 letter (from A to V) | 22 industries |
| Level 2 | Second-level economic industry | 2 digits (based on Level 1) | 87 industries |
| Level 3 | Third-level economic industry | 3 digits (based on Level 2) | 259 industries |
| Level 4 | Fourth-level economic industry | 4 digits (based on Level 3) | 495 industries |
| Level 5 | Fifth-level economic industry | 5 digits (based on Level 4) | 743 industries |
