How to use the HSIC search
Search several descriptions of the actual activity, then compare the results with the business model, revenue stream and proposed company description. Keep a note of why the selected description fits.
Is an HSIC result an official classification decision?
No. This is an educational search aid using selected results. Confirm the appropriate classification against current C&SD materials before using it for a filing or application.
Why can more than one code appear?
A business can involve more than one activity, and similar words can describe different industries. Review the actual activity rather than choosing only the first result.
