Common Questions About NIC 476903
Does NIC 476903 apply to wholesale, retail or manufacturing?

NIC 2026 guidance
Before you select NIC 476903
NIC 476903 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.
