NAICS 314999

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the federal statistical standard for classifying business establishments, created under the Office of Management and Budget and adopted in 1997 to replace the SIC. It was developed jointly by the U.S. Economic Classification Policy Committee, Statistics Canada, and Mexico’s INEGI to support comparable economic statistics across North America. ¹
NAICS 314999 (All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills) covers establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing textile products from purchased materials, excluding carpets and rugs; curtains and linens; textile bags and canvas products; rope, cordage, and twine; and tire cords and tire fabrics. Illustrative examples include batts and batting (except nonwoven fabrics), carpet cutting and binding, cloth diapers (non-disposable) from purchased fabric, dust cloths, embroidery on nonapparel textile items for the trade, sleeping bags, and textile fire hose. ²
