Which code does this activity belong in?

Lumber, plywood, millwork, and wood panel merchant wholesalers distribute wood-based building materials and their components, including lumber, reconstituted wood fiber products, fencing, and doors and windows in all materials. Roofing, siding, and insulation material merchant wholesalers are classified separately; while this code covers wood roofing and siding when distributed alongside other wood products by lumber wholesalers, those materials distributed primarily as specialty roofing and siding products belong in Roofing, Siding, and Insulation Material Merchant Wholesalers. Brick, stone, and related construction material merchant wholesalers handle masonry and stone products rather than wood and millwork items.
