North American Products Classification System (NAPCS)

This document contains conceptual mock-ups of different designs for presenting the goods and services that will be part of the NAPCS products collected in the 2017 Economic Census Web instrument. Previously, similar information on goods and services was collected in Item 22 on economic census instruments. Although there are differences between NAPCS products, their structure, and descriptions and what was previously collected, the attached (WH-43409) form gives a general idea of how goods and services were described in past Censuses.
