How to choose a NIC code for Leather Products

A quick check before you use a code in a registration.

  1. 1Match your main activity: identify what your leather products business actually does day to day.
  2. 2Start with 151299 (Manufacture of other diverse articles of leather or composition leather n.e.c. including saddlery and harness, non-metallic watch bands, leather clothes for animals, shoe-laces of leather, horse whips, riding crops), the closest NIC-2025 nic code for this activity, and open it to confirm what it covers.
  3. 3If you carry out more than one activity, pick a NIC code for each and mark the main one. Udyam registration, for example, lets you list several codes.
  4. 4Use the NIC-2025 code where a form asks for the latest classification, and the mapped NIC-2008 code where the older version is required.
  5. 5Not sure which fits? Share what you do and an IncorpX advisor will help you confirm the right code. Free, with no obligation.

Where you use these codes

The same activity code carries across these registrations. IncorpX provides assistance for each one.

Where do I use the NIC code for leather products?
