1. What is a business industry code?
Business industry codes are sequences of numbers encoded to represent a specific business industry. Organizations and individuals, when preparing business registration documents, must use this business industry code table for registration. Level 4 industry codes (4 digits) are the codes used for business registration.
The Vietnam Standard Industrial Classification (VSIC) system, issued under Decision 36/2025/QD-TTg, has a hierarchical structure with 5 levels, from general to specific:
| Level | Name | Code | Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | First-level economic activity | 1 letter (from A to V) | 22 industries |
| Level 2 | Second-level economic activity | 2 digits (based on Level 1) | 87 industries |
| Level 3 | Third-level economic activity | 3 digits (based on Level 2) | 259 industries |
| Level 4 | Fourth-level economic activity | 4 digits (based on Level 3) | 495 industries |
| Level 5 | Fifth-level economic activity | 5 digits (based on Level 4) | 743 industries |
Example of industry code structure: Taking the food manufacturing industry as an example:
- Level 1: C (Manufacturing)
- Level 2: 10 (Food processing and manufacturing)
- Level 3: 107 (Manufacture of other food products)
- Level 4: 1075 (Manufacture of prepared meals and dishes)
