If the activity also includes 259201 Plating, anodizing, galvanizing etc. of metals, 259203 Non-metallic coating of metals: plasticizing, enameling, lacquering, colouring and engraving of metals and similar activities, 259299 Treatment and coating of metals; machining n.e.c., compare those pages before filing.
Manufacturing codes apply when the business transforms inputs into a new product through mechanical, chemical, manual or industrial processes. Pure buying and resale should be checked under wholesale or retail trade.

If multiple product lines are material, compare 259201 Plating, anodizing, galvanizing etc. of metals, 259203 Non-metallic coating of metals: plasticizing, enameling, lacquering, colouring and engraving of metals and similar activities, 259299 Treatment and coating of metals; machining n.e.c. and document the primary activity before filing.

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 259202 should be selected only when the official title matches the main revenue-generating activity. If the business also trades, transports, processes, installs or supports the same product or service, compare nearby NIC pages before filing. This reduces the risk of choosing a code that describes the product being handled rather than the activity your enterprise actually performs.
