You are correct that your Item S(a) response needs to report in 2017 10-digit NAPCS codes. You can look up an
appropriate 2017 NAPCS code in the " Manufacturing and Mining" tab of th is spreadsheet:
https ://www 2 .c ensus.gov/programs-surveys/economic-census/techni ca l-
documentation/napcs/2012 Product Code to 2017 NAPCS-Based Co llection Code 20200312 no hi gh light.xlsx. You
should select your 2017 NAPCS codes from Co lu mn G (" 2017 NAPCS Based Co llection Code"). The 2017 NAPCS code that
you se lect from Co l umn G should map to a Column D code ("2012 Pub lished Produ ct Code" ) that begi ns w ith the same 6
digits as the 2017 NAICS code that you are report ing in.

Subject: HSR Item S(a) Product Code
I am working on an HSR fi ling and specifically Item S(a ). It asks for a 10-digit Product Code, wh i ch in the lite rature I see
refers to the 2017 NAPCS Product Code. When I look at those pr oduct codes, I see only 9- and 11- digit codes. I th ink the
right code for the product in question is 671170101 Mater ials and Suppli es fo r Electrical Equipment, Appliances, and
Component Manufacturi ng . Can you te ll me how I fin d the 10-digit code or advise on how bette r to fill out the form?
Thanks
