INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATIONS
The internaonal surveys industry (ISI) classicaons described here are to be used when compleng the industry classicaons
items in BEA’s surveys of direct investment and services. The classicaons and their code numbers were adapted by BEA from
the 2022 North American Industry Classicaon System (hereaer referred to as the “2022 NAICS”). Industry classicaons in the
previous version of this guide were adapted from the 2017 North American Industry Classicaon System.
Reecng the changes made to the NAICS for 2022, the new 2022 ISI classicaons dier signicantly from the 2017 ISI
classicaons in the Retail Trade and Informaon sectors. These changes were made to deemphasize the delivery method (online/
electronic versus physical/in-store/print) as an industry funcon used in the NAICS classicaon. The table below summarizes the
reclassicaons of acvies and other changes in the 2022 guide:

For addional informaon, refer to the detailed descripon of the ISI codes that follow in this guide and in the 2022 NAICS manual.
For reporng on BEA surveys, 201 individual ISI classicaons were adapted from the 2022 NAICS, and each has been assigned a
four-digit numerical code. (The previously used 2017 ISI classicaons had 200 four-digit codes.) The tles of some ISI classicaons,
by themselves, may not be suciently descripve to classify certain acvies. More informaon on the content of each classicaon
is provided in the detailed denions that follow. For some classicaons, a “NOTE” given aer the denion lists closely related
acvies and ISI codes NOT included in the classicaon being dened.
For the convenience of those reporters familiar with the 2022 NAICS, the 2022 NAICS code or codes that correspond to a given ISI
classicaon are shown in parentheses under the heading of each ISI classicaon. Because dierences between a given ISI clas-
sicaon and the corresponding 2022 NAICS classicaon(s) may exist, the detailed denions of the ISI classicaons should be
consulted when compleng industry classicaon items in BEA surveys.

FOREIGN PARENT AND UBO INDUSTRY CODES
Two-digit codes, with ISI components
Some of BEA’s surveys request industry classifications for foreign parents (FPs) and the ultimate beneficial owners
(UBOs) of U.S. affiliates. These requests require a two-digit classification that is used to identify groups of related ISI
codes or specific types of ownership (government-owned, pension fund, estate, trust, nonprofit organization, or individual).
The list below identifies these groups of related ISI codes.
01 Government and government-
owned or -sponsored enterprise,

account and use, and by its own employees (force construction), is excluded from this industry, and is classified
according to the principle activity of the business.

Page 18
MANUFACTURING
The manufacturing sector (ISI codes 3111–3399) comprises businesses engaged in the mechanical, physical, or
chemical transformation of materials, substances, or components into new products. The assembling of
component parts of manufactured products is considered manufacturing, except in cases where the activity is
classified in construction (i.e., structures).
Manufacturing businesses acquire materials that are products of agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, and
quarrying as well as products of other manufacturing businesses. A business may process the materials itself or
may contract with another manufacturer to perform the processing on materials which they provide to the other
manufacturer. Both types of businesses are included in manufacturing.
The product produced by a manufacturer may be finished for final consumption or it may be a material input for
an entity engaged in further manufacturing. For example, the product of an alumina refinery is the input used in
the primary production of aluminum; primary aluminum is the input to an aluminum wire drawing plant; and
aluminum wire is the input for a fabricated wire product manufacturer.
Within the manufacturing sector, the individual industries generally reflect distinct production processes related
to material inputs, production equipment, and employee skills. In the machinery area, where assembling is a key
activity, parts and accessories for manufactured products are classified in the industry of the finished
manufactured item when they are made for sale separately. For example, a replacement refrigerator door would
be classified with refrigerators and an attachment for a piece of metal working machinery would be classified
with metal working machinery. However, components and inputs from other manufacturers are classified based
on the production function of the component manufacturer.
Some borderline activities that are classified in manufacturing include:
Apparel jobbing (assigning materials to contract factories or shops for fabrication or other contract operations)
as well as contracting on materials owned by others
Electroplating, plating, metal heat treating, and polishing for the trade
Fabricating signs and advertising displays
Fresh fish packaging (oyster shucking, fish filleting)
Lapidary work for the trade
Machine shop work
Milk bottling and pasteurizing
Printing and related support activities
Ready-mix concrete production
Rebuilding machinery, but not repairing (e.g., automotive parts)
Ship repair and renovation
Tire retreading
Water bottling and processing
Wood preserving
Some borderline activities that are not classified in manufacturing include:
Logging is classified in Forestry and logging (ISI code 1130).
Beneficiating ores is classified in Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction (ISI codes 2111–2133).
Constructing structures and fabricating at the construction site by contractors are classified in Construction (ISI
codes 2360–2380).
Breaking bulk and redistributing in smaller lots, including packaging and repackaging products, such as liquors
or chemicals; assembling computers on a custom basis; sorting scrap; mixing paints to customer order; and
cutting metals to customer order are classified in Wholesale or Retail Trade (ISI codes 4231–4596).
Publishing and the combined activity of publishing and printing is classified in Information (ISI codes
5121–5192). Although the activity performed is the transformation of information into a product, the value of
the product to the consumer lies in the information content, not in the format in which it is distributed (i.e., the
book or software).

WHOLESALE TRADE
The wholesale trade sector (ISI codes 4231–4251) comprises businesses engaged in wholesaling merchandise,
generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise.
The wholesaling process is an intermediate step in the distribution of merchandise. Wholesalers are organized to
sell or arrange the purchase or sale of (1) goods for resale (goods sold to other wholesalers or retailers), (2)
capital or durable nonconsumer goods, and (3) raw and intermediate materials and supplies used in production.
Wholesalers sell merchandise to other businesses and normally operate from a warehouse or office. These
warehouses and offices are characterized by having little or no display of merchandise. In addition, neither the
design nor the location of the premises is intended to solicit walk-in traffic. Wholesalers do not normally use
advertising directed to the general public. Customers are generally reached initially via telephone, in-person
marketing, or by specialized advertising that may include Internet and other electronic means.
In general, wholesaling denotes sales in large volumes, though durable nonconsumer goods may be sold in
single units. Sales of capital or durable nonconsumer goods used in the production of goods and services, such
as farm machinery, medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and industrial machinery are included in wholesale trade.
The sector comprises two main types of wholesalers: (1) merchant wholesalers that sell goods on their own
account and (2) business-to-business electronic markets, agents, and brokers that arrange sales and purchases
for others, generally for a commission or fee.
