Manufacture of metal fasteners (nails, rivets, tacks, pins, staples, washers and similar non-threaded products and nuts, bolts, screws and other threaded products)
Manufacture of reinforced safes, vaults, strong room doors, gates and metal goods for office use (other than office furniture) and other purposes
Manufacture of metal household articles (plates, saucers, pots, kettles, saucepans, frying pans and other non-electrical utensils, small hand-operated kitchen appliances and accessories)
NIC 259901 is the final six-digit endpoint for Manufacture of metal fasteners (nails, rivets, tacks, pins, staples, washers and similar non-threaded products and nuts, bolts, screws and other threaded products). It should be selected only when the enterprise's primary manufacturing activity matches this title more closely than 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, 259904 Manufacture of metal household articles (plates, saucers, pots, kettles, saucepans, frying pans, pressure cooker and other non-electrical utensils, small hand-operated kitchen appliances and accessories).
Choose 259901 only when operations, invoices and revenue narrative align with Manufacture of metal fasteners (nails, rivets, tacks, pins, staples, washers and similar non-threaded products and nuts, bolts, screws and other threaded products). If the activity also includes 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, 259904 Manufacture of metal household articles (plates, saucers, pots, kettles, saucepans, frying pans, pressure cooker and other non-electrical utensils, small hand-operated kitchen appliances and accessories), 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.
Choose the Sub-class that best matches the main product line by revenue or production value. If multiple product lines are material, compare 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, 259904 Manufacture of metal household articles (plates, saucers, pots, kettles, saucepans, frying pans, pressure cooker and other non-electrical utensils, small hand-operated kitchen appliances and accessories) and document the primary activity before filing.
Check the parent hierarchy, compare 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, 259904 Manufacture of metal household articles (plates, saucers, pots, kettles, saucepans, frying pans, pressure cooker and other non-electrical utensils, small hand-operated kitchen appliances and accessories), 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.
NIC 259901 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.
