Division 16 splits manufacture of wood and products of wood and cork, except furniture; manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials into operational Groups such as undefined undefined, undefined undefined. Use it when the broad sector is clear but the exact activity family still needs comparison.
Division 16 is used in Udyam, MSME, MCA and LLP preparation when the business belongs to manufacture of wood and products of wood and cork, except furniture; manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials but still needs the correct Group or Class.
Pick Division 16 when it reflects the dominant business line. Then compare its Groups and Classes instead of choosing a six-digit code from the Division title alone.

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 10 Manufacture of food products, 11 Manufacture of beverages, 12 Manufacture of tobacco products, 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.
Sawmilling, plywood production, veneer manufacturing, wooden container making and cork processing all belong here. If you turn raw timber into intermediate wood products, but not into finished furniture, Division 16 is correct. Furniture makers should look at Division 31.
