NIC 259299 - Treatment and coating of metals; machining 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 259201 Plating, anodizing, galvanizing etc. of metals, 259202 Treatment of metals like heating, deburring, sandblasting, tumbling, cleaning of metals, hardening, buffing of metals and similar activities, 259203 Non-metallic coating of metals: plasticizing, enameling, lacquering, colouring and engraving of metals and similar activities and document the primary activity before filing.

Check the parent hierarchy, compare 259201 Plating, anodizing, galvanizing etc. of metals, 259202 Treatment of metals like heating, deburring, sandblasting, tumbling, cleaning of metals, hardening, buffing of metals and similar activities, 259203 Non-metallic coating of metals: plasticizing, enameling, lacquering, colouring and engraving of metals and similar activities, 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.
