NIC 259999 - Manufacture of other fabricated metal products n.e.c.

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.

Choose the Sub-class that best matches the main product line by revenue or production value. If multiple product lines are material, compare 259901 Manufacture of metal fasteners (nails, rivets, tacks, pins, staples, washers and similar non-threaded products and nuts, bolts, screws and other threaded products), 259902 Manufacture of containers such as tins and cans for food products and boxes, 259903 Manufacture of metal cable and other articles made of wire (except for electric transmission) including barbed wire, wire fencing, grill, netting, wire mesh and similar articles and document the primary activity before filing.

Check the parent hierarchy, compare 259901 Manufacture of metal fasteners (nails, rivets, tacks, pins, staples, washers and similar non-threaded products and nuts, bolts, screws and other threaded products), 259902 Manufacture of containers such as tins and cans for food products and boxes, 259903 Manufacture of metal cable and other articles made of wire (except for electric transmission) including barbed wire, wire fencing, grill, netting, wire mesh and similar articles, 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.
