1. What is a business industry code?
Business industry code is a series of numbers coded 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 code (4 digits) is the industry code 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 | Number of industries |

| Level 4 | Level 4 Economic Industry | 4 digits (based on Level 3) | 495 industries |
