1 2012 NAICS Definition for NAICS codes 322, 324 and 325 From the US Census Bureau, US Department of Commerce. http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/sssd/naics/naicsrch T = Canadian, Mexican, and United St ates industries are comparable. 322 Paper Manufacturing T 322 Paper Manufacturing T Industries in the Paper Manufacturing subsector make pulp, paper, or converted paper products. The manufacturing of these products is grouped together because they constitute a series of vertically connected processes. More than one is often carried out in a single establishment. There are essentially three activities. The manufacturing of pulp involves separating the cellulose fibers from other impurities in wood or used paper. T he manufacturing of paper involves matting these fibers into a sheet. Converted paper products are made from paper and other materials by various cutting and shaping techniques and includes coating and laminating activities. The Paper Manufacturing subsector is subdivided into two industry groups, the first for the manufacturing of pulp and paper and the second for the manufacturing of converted paper products. Paper making is treated as the core activity of the subsector. Therefore, any establishment that makes paper (including paperboard), either alone or in combination with pulp manufacturing or paper converting, is classified as a paper or paperboard mill. Establishments that make pulp without making paper are classified as pulp mills. Pulp mills, paper mills and paperboard mills comprise the first industry group. Establishments that make products from purchased paper and other materials make up the second industry group, Converted Paper Product Manufacturing. This general activity is then subdivided based, for the most part, on process distinctions. Paperboard container manufacturing uses corrugating, cutting, and shaping machinery to form paperboard into containers. Paper bag and coated and treated paper manufacturing establishments cut and coat paper and foil. Stationery product manufacturing establishments make a variety of paper products used for writing, filing, and similar applications. Other converted paper product manufacturing includes, in particular, the conversion of sanitary paper stock into such things as tissue paper and disposable diapers. An important process used in the Paper Bag and Coated and Treated Paper Manufacturing industry is lamination, often combined with coating. Lamination and coating makes a composite material with improved properties of strength, impermeability, and so on. The laminated materials may be paper, metal foil, or plastics film. While paper is often one of the components, it is not always. Lamination of plastics film to plastics film is classified in the NAICS Subsector 326, Plastics and Rubber Products Manufacturing, because establishments that do this often first make the film. The same situation holds with respect to bags. The manufacturing of bags from plastics only, whether or not laminated, is classified in Subsector 326, Plastics and Rubber Products Manufacturing, but all other bag manufacturing is classified in this subsector. Excluded from this subsector are photosensitive papers. These papers are chemically treated and are classified in Industry 32599, All Other Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing.2 3221 Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard Mills T

324 Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing T3 324 Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing T
The Petroleum and Coal Products Manuf acturing subsector is based on the transformation of crude petroleum and coal into usable products. The dominant process is petroleum refining that involves the separation of crude petroleum into component products through such techni ques as cracking and distillation. In addition, this subsector includes establ ishments that primarily further process refined petroleum and coal products and produce products, such as asphalt coatings and petroleum lubricating oils. Howeve r, establishments that manufacture petrochemicals from refined petrol eum are classified in Industry 32511, Petrochemical Manufacturing. 3241 Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing T

325 Chemical Manufacturing T 325 Chemical Manufacturing T The Chemical Manufacturing subsector is ba sed on the transformation of organic and inorganic raw materials by a chemical proc ess and the formulation of products. This subsector distinguishes the production of basic chemicals that comprise the first industry group from the production of inte rmediate and end products produced by further processing of basic chemicals th at make up the remaining industry groups. This subsector does not include all in dustries transforming raw materials by a chemical process. It is common for some chemical processing to occur during mining operations. These beneficiating operations , such as copper concentrating, are classified in Sector 21, Mi ning, Quarrying, and Oil and Ga s Extraction. Furthermore, the refining of crude petroleum is incl uded in Subsector 324, Petroleum and Coal4 Products Manufacturing. In addition, the manufacturing of aluminum oxide is included in Subsector 331, Primary Metal Ma nufacturing; and beverage distilleries are classified in Subsector 312, Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing. As is the case of these two activities, the groupi ng of industries into subsectors may take into account the association of the activi ties performed with other activities in the subsector. 3251 Basic Chemical Manufacturing T
