Pulp & Paper Classification

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is used by businesses and government to classify and measure economic activity in Canada, Mexico and the US. The NAICS numbering system is a six-digit code where the first five digits are generally the same in all the three countries and the last digit denotes national industries. NAICS was jointly developed by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico to provide new comparability in statistics about business activity across North America.


Shown below are the NAICS codes and their description for paper manufacturing for the US industry.
