Which code does this activity belong in?

Establishments in this industry engage in merchant wholesale distribution specifically of computers, computer peripheral equipment, loaded computer boards, and computer software. The key distinction from Office Equipment Merchant Wholesalers is that this code covers computing technology and related components, whereas office equipment wholesalers distribute machines such as copiers and fax machines that serve general office functions. Other specialized equipment wholesalers, including those focused on photographic, medical, dental, ophthalmic, and other professional equipment, fall outside this classification.
