NIC Class 4679 covers Wholesale of chemicals, waste and scrap and other products n.e.c.. This is the main comparison layer for deciding which specific six-digit Sub-class best fits the real activity described in...
Compare nearby hierarchy entries before choosing a code for a registration or business workflow.
Class 4679 is the final decision layer before six-digit Sub-classes such as 467901 Wholesale of industrial chemicals such as aniline, chemical glues, synthetic resin, methanol, paraffin,soda, industrial salt, acids and sulphurs, starch derivates and similar products, 467902 Wholesale of fertilizers and agrochemical products, 467903 Wholesale of plastic materials in primary forms, 467904 Wholesale of rubber (Including synthetic rubber) and 5 more. Compare the child pages before using a code in a filing.
Class 4679 is used when the final six-digit code is not obvious and official notes or child Sub-classes need to be compared.
Review every child Sub-class under Class 4679. If the wording is still broad, open the six-digit child pages before using a code in registration.
This class excludes: - collection of household and industrial waste, see group 381 - treatment of waste, not for a further use in an industrial manufacturing process, but with the aim of disposal, see group 382 - processing of waste and scrap and other articles into secondary raw material when a real transformation process is required (the resulting secondary raw material is fit for direct use in an industrial manufacturing process, but is not a final product), see 3830 - dismantling of automobiles, computers, televisions and other equipment for materials recovery, see 3830 - shredding of cars by means of a mechanical process, see 3830 - ship-breaking, see 3830 - retail sale of second-hand goods, see 4774
Start here when the business belongs to wholesale of chemicals, waste and scrap and other products n.e.c. and then compare child entries such as 467901 Wholesale of industrial chemicals such as aniline, chemical glues, synthetic resin, methanol, paraffin,soda, industrial salt, acids and sulphurs, starch derivates and similar products, 467902 Wholesale of fertilizers and agrochemical products, 467903 Wholesale of plastic materials in primary forms, 467904 Wholesale of rubber (Including synthetic rubber) and 5 more.
No. This is a hierarchy page. Continue to the six-digit Sub-class before using a code in registration or compliance records.
Check the parent hierarchy, compare 4671 Wholesale of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels and related products, 4672 Wholesale of metals and metal ores, 4673 Wholesale of construction materials, hardware, plumbing and heating equipment and supplies, and confirm that the official title matches the main revenue activity. For regulated or filing-critical decisions, verify the source row in the MoSPI dataset.
A wrong code can cause mismatched business descriptions, follow-up questions or later compliance cleanup. It is better to compare nearby codes before filing than to correct a weak classification later.
Use the legacy converter only as a migration aid. Old NIC 2008 matches can suggest where to look, but NIC 2025 should remain the primary reference for new code selection.
NIC 4679 is an intermediate hierarchy page, not usually the final code used in a filing. Use it to compare child entries, read the nearby-code context and move toward the most precise six-digit Sub-class. If the child list contains several similar activities, open each candidate page and compare the wording against the business's real operating model.
