NAICS 112930

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the federal standard for classifying business establishments to support statistical data collection and publication across the U.S. economy. Established under the Office of Management and Budget and adopted in 1997 to replace SIC, it was developed jointly with Statistics Canada and Mexico’s INEGI to maintain cross-country comparability. ¹

NAICS 112930 covers establishments primarily engaged in raising fur-bearing animals, including rabbits, for sale or for pelt production. Examples include farm-raised mink, fox, chinchilla, and rabbit operations. Activities such as commercial trapping or hunting of wild fur-bearers are excluded and classified under NAICS 114210. The official industry page defines scope and cross-references that distinguish farm raising from hunting and trapping. ²

Data coverage note

The Economic Census is conducted on the 2022 NAICS vintage but generally excludes agricultural production industries in Sector 11 (Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting). As a result, standard Economic Census tables for NAICS 112930 are not published, with limited exceptions for certain support activities outside this industry. ³

Frequently asked questions

• What activities fall under NAICS 112930?

  • Establishments primarily raise farmed fur-bearing animals—including rabbits—for live sale or pelt production. Operations involve breeding, husbandry, and harvesting of pelts from animals raised on the premises. Hunting or trapping wild fur-bearers is out of scope and classified in NAICS 114210. ²

• How is NAICS 112930 different from NAICS 112990?

  • NAICS 112930 focuses on fur-bearing animals and rabbits as the primary activity. NAICS 112990 is a residual category for animal production not elsewhere classified, including mixed animal operations where no single animal group accounts for at least half of production value. ²

• Is NAICS 112930 included in the Economic Census tables?

  • Most of NAICS 112 is outside the Economic Census scope. Exceptions apply to certain support activities (such as NAICS 1151 and NAICS 1152), but industry-level tables for NAICS 112930 are not produced. ³

• Which PSC codes align with live animal buys relevant to this industry?

  • Live animal supplies are typically coded under PSC 8810 (raised for food) or 8820 (not raised for food). Related service PSCs for “Live Animals” may include inspection, testing, or other services, such as H188/H388/H988. ⁴

• Where can the official NAICS definition for 112930 be found?

  • The U.S. Census Bureau’s NAICS industry page for 112930 provides the official definition, illustrative examples, and cross-references that distinguish farm raising from hunting and trapping activities. ²
