Which code does this activity belong in?
Code 325194 covers establishments that distill wood, gum, or coal tar into chemical products, or manufacture wood and gum chemicals such as naval stores and charcoal. It also includes manufacturers of cyclic crudes and intermediates derived from refined petroleum or natural gas, excluding aromatic petrochemicals. The key distinction from code 325199 is that 325194 specifically encompasses gum and wood chemicals plus cyclic crudes and intermediates, which 325199 explicitly excludes. Nonpotable ethyl alcohol manufacturing is classified separately in code 325193.
