A North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is a six-digit number that identifies your primary business activity.

When applying for or renewing a Louisiana Resale Certificate, you must provide the NAICS code that best describes your business. LDR uses this information to help determine your business classification and eligibility for a resale certificate.

You can find your NAICS code by using the official U.S. Census Bureau NAICS Search tool and selecting the code that most closely matches your primary business activity.

If you are unsure which code to use, choose the one that best represents the primary source of your business income. If additional information is needed, LDR may contact you during the application review process.

Recommendation: Before submitting your application, verify that your NAICS code accurately reflects your current business activity. Using the correct code can help avoid delays in processing your Louisiana Resale Certificate application.
