Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 44619 covers retail stores specializing in health and personal care items that fall outside the scope of pharmacies, cosmetics retailers, and optical stores. Convalescent supply stores, prosthetic retailers, and health supplement sellers are classified here, whereas drugstores selling medicines belong in Pharmacies and Drug Stores; cosmetics and beauty supply shops belong in Cosmetics, Beauty Supplies, and Perfume Stores; and eyeglass retailers belong in Optical Goods Stores. The distinguishing factor is the type of product sold: this code encompasses medical supplies and wellness items, not pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or corrective eyewear.
