NIC 262004 - Manufacture of printers, scanners, including bar code scanners, smart card readers, virtual reality helmets and headsets

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 262001 Manufacture of desktop computers, laptop computers, hand-held computers (such as PDA), mainframe computers and computer servers, 262002 Manufacture of magnetic and optical storage devices such as magnetic disk drives, flash drives and other storage devices, 262003 Manufacture of monitors, keyboards, mouse, joysticks, and trackball accessories, dedicated computer terminals and similar equipments and document the primary activity before filing.

Check the parent hierarchy, compare 262001 Manufacture of desktop computers, laptop computers, hand-held computers (such as PDA), mainframe computers and computer servers, 262002 Manufacture of magnetic and optical storage devices such as magnetic disk drives, flash drives and other storage devices, 262003 Manufacture of monitors, keyboards, mouse, joysticks, and trackball accessories, dedicated computer terminals and similar equipments, 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.
