Which code does this activity belong in?
Code 532490 covers rental and leasing of nonconsumer machinery and equipment used in manufacturing, metalworking, telecommunications, motion picture, theatrical, and service industries, as well as institutional furniture. It excludes heavy construction, transportation, mining, and forestry machinery, which are classified in Construction, Transportation, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing, and office machinery, which falls under Office Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing. The distinguishing factor is the type of machinery and its primary application; 532490 focuses on lighter industrial and institutional equipment rather than the heavy mobile equipment or standard office machines covered by the neighbouring categories.
