Common Questions About NIC 390002
Does NIC 390002 cover only surface water and coastal cleaning servicies?

NIC 2026 guidance
Before you select NIC 390002
NIC 390002 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.
