Part II--Proposed New Industry Structure for Textile Mills, Textile Product Mills,
Apparel Manufacturing, Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing.
Section A--NAICS Structure
North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS)
Agreement Number 5
This Document represents the proposed agreement on the structure of the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS) for the following industries:
Textile Mills
Textile Product Mills
Apparel Manufacturing
Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing
The detailed NAICS structure along with a brief description of the structure is attached
(Attachments 1 and 2). Each country agrees to release a copy of the proposed NAICS
structure to interested data users . For the apparel industries only, each country may develop
a different national structure. These structures must, however, permit each country to
aggregate to the NAICS structure in Attachment 1. Each country's detailed apparel structure
is shown in Attachment 3. Comments received will be shared among the countries and
discussions held before a final decision on the structure is made. This NAICS structure was
presented and provisionally accepted at the NAICS Committee meeting held June 22 and 23,
1995 in Ottawa, Canada.

Attachment 2--North American Industry Classification System
Draft Classification for:
Textile Mills
Textile Product Mills
Apparel Manufacturing
Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing
Representatives of the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States agree
to a draft industry classification for these industries.
The draft classification provides for four subsectors; Textile Mills; Textile Product Mills;
Apparel Manufacturing; and Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing. These groups are
further sub-divided into eleven industry groups and twenty industries. The subsectors will be
part of the Manufacturing sector of the NAICS classification.
A General Outline
Textile Mills comprise a group of industries that transform a basic fiber (natural or
synthetic) into a product that is further manufactured into usable items such as apparel, sheets
and towels, and textile bags for individual or industrial consumption. The main processes in
this subsector include preparation and spinning of fiber, knitting or weaving of fabric, and
finally the finishing of the textile. The NAICS structure follows and captures this process
flow. Major industries in this flow such as preparation of fibers, weaving of fabric, knitting of
fabric, and fiber and fabric finishing are uniquely identified. Texturizing, throwing, twisting,
and winding of yarn contains aspects of both fiber preparation and fiber finishing. In the end,
the decision was to class these with preparation of fibers rather than with finishing of fiber.
The subsector Textile Product Mills includes the production of textile products, except
apparel. With a few exceptions, processes used in these industries are generally "cut and
sew," i.e., purchasing fabric and cutting and sewing to make a non-apparel textile product
such as sheets and towels. By creating a separate subsector, the classification more accurately
reflects both the production aspect and the strong desire for a separate identification for these
activities by many data users.
The Apparel Manufacturing subsector consists of establishments with two distinct
manufacturing processes: (1) "cut and sew" as described above and (2) the manufacture of
garments in establishments that first knit fabric and then cut and sew the fabric into a garment.
Knitting, when done alone, is classified in the Textile Mills subsector, but when knitting is
combined with the production of complete garments, the production processes are similar to
those in Apparel Manufacturing. The three countries agreed to establish separate subsectors
for Textile Product Mills and Apparel Manufacturing. These groupings allow for the unique
identification at a high classification level for Apparel Manufacturing, an extremely important
international trade grouping.
The subsector Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing consists of transforming hides
into leather by tanning or curing, and fabricating the leather into products for final
consumption. It also includes the manufacture of certain other, similar products from other
materials, including products other than apparel made from "leather substitutes", such as
rubber, plastic, or textiles. Rubber footwear, textile luggage, and plastic purses or wallets are
examples of "leather substitute" products included in this group. The products made from
leather substitutes are produced in similar ways as are the leather products (luggage, for
example) and they are made in the same establishments so it is not practical to separate them.
The inclusion of leather production in this subsector is partly because leather tanning is a
relatively small industry that has few close neighbors as a production process, partly because
leather is an input to some of the other products classified in this subsector, and partly for
historical reasons.
Limitations and Constraints of the Classification
There are some analytical needs that cannot be met by this industry classification. For
example, there is a need in the U.S. and Canada for data for separate statistics for men's and
women's apparel, even though overlap of production exists for many specific clothing items.
This cannot be accommodated by NAICS because of differences in the way apparel
production is organized in Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. Specifically, in Mexico, producers
of children's wear are not specialized according to gender as they are in the U.S. and Canada.
It is therefore, not possible for Mexico to create separate industries for men's and boys'
versus women's and girls'. Canada and the U.S., on the other hand, can recognize this
distinction and in the national detail of the two countries, these groupings are recognized.
Moreover, Mexico requires that uniforms be grouped together in a single industry; in the U.S.
and Canada, production of men's uniforms is usually separate from production of women's
uniforms. Additionally, size constraints prohibit separation of some activities in Canada. For
example, Canada cannot support a separate men's work clothing industry.
These differences in the way apparel production is organized in the three countries also
greatly limits the number of NAICS industries that can be defined in this subsector. As a
result, NAICS industries have been defined at a rather highly aggregated level (e.g.,
outerwear) because only at these levels of aggregation will it be possible to publish
comparable data across all three countries. Therefore, the three countries agreed that each
country will publish more detailed national industries that meet their respective national needs
for data on apparel. For the apparel industries only, each country may develop a different
national structure. These structures must, however, permit each country to aggregate to the
NAICS structure shown in Attachment 1. Attachment 3 shows each country's detailed
national structure for apparel.
For users requiring detailed commodity information, each country will publish information
on products of these industries. Efforts also are underway to harmonize the commodity
classifications to allow comparability of these statistics.
An issue related to the coding structure is the ability to publish, and the economic
significance of the items defined in the classification. In the apparel industry, most activities
that were identified in one country exist in the others. However, often an activity is not
economically significant to the same degree in all countries. Further, data for some
significant activities cannot be published for a particular country because of confidentiality
rules. Finally, the way activities are combined in establishments differs to some extent in the
different countries. A structure could have been developed that specified such activities in
NAICS, but the resulting statistical tables for any given country would have numerous
insignificant or suppressed entries. For example, Canada cannot support a separate men's
work clothing industry because of size. It was preferable to adopt an operating rule for this
industry subsector that the NAICS industries must be economically significant and
publishable. It is anticipated that each country will publish
additional categories that comprise sub-divisions of NAICS industries to present data for
activities that are nationally significant.
Relationship to ISIC
The new NAICS structure for textiles, apparel, and leather does not match the current
International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC, Revision 3).
The ISIC divisions covered by these NAICS subsectors are: Division 17, Manufacture of
Textiles; Division 18, Manufacture of Wearing Apparel: Dressing and Dyeing of Fur; and
Division 19, Tanning and Dressing of Leather; Manufacture of Luggage, Handbags,
Saddlery, Harness and Footwear. Within ISIC, apparel made from fabric made in the same
establishment is classified in one division and that made from fabric made by another
establishment is classified in a different division. Within ISIC, both manufacturing of
primary textiles and made-up textile products are classified in the same division while in
NAICS these functions have been separated into two subsectors.
However, of the twenty one NAICS 4-digit industries in these subsectors, only four do not
fall within a single ISIC Division. The four that do not, cross two ISIC divisions.
Moreover, the majority of the NAICS industries created fall within a single 4-digit ISIC
industry.
Some Changes to the National Classifications
This section highlights some of the significant changes to existing national classifications.
In Textile Mills, the NAICS structure following the production flow resulted in a major
restructuring for Canada. Every new national industry in Canada will have some change. For
the United States, the main industry change involves moving finishing of fiber, yarn, thread,
and wool fabric into separate classifications. The United States converters of non knit
(woven) fabric also were moved to manufacturing. In Mexico, the changes were minor.
The subsector Textile Product Mills contains no major changes for any of the three
countries. In NAICS, all three countries moved curtains and draperies made from purchased
materials to this grouping.
The major change for Mexico and the U. S. for all NAICS industries in Apparel
Manufacturing was the classification of cut and sew contracting into a separate NAICS
industry group. The fact that cut and sew apparel contractors make women's dresses one
week and women's blouses the next or make men's shirts one week and men's pants the next
results in difficulties in classifying establishments. In addition, these contractors are typically
small, thus causing additional difficulties in classifying these establishments. Classifying all
contractors together eases the data collection process. Creating a separate contracting
industry for apparel results in a change in virtually every U.S. (13) and Mexican (6) apparel
manufacturing industry. Canada already recognizes apparel contracting in its current
structure. It should be noted that Mexico will continue to collect and publish a combined
industry (including contractors) for the cut and sew area, but will publish separate NAICS for
this industry. The U.S. Census Bureau has published information in the past on cut and sew
contractors. This information will be used as a bridge to link the 1997 Economic Census data
based on NAICS to data that would have been published on the 1987 SIC basis. This link
will provide data users essential information for time series comparability.
Achievement of Objectives
The classification meets the objectives for the NAICS. It is comprised of industries that
group establishments with similar production processes, that is, it applies the production-
oriented economic concept. In the main, the hierarchical structure of the classification also
follows the production concept.
The classification achieves comparability for the three participating countries. Based on
existing data, all three countries expect to be able to publish data regularly at the industry
level of the structure. All countries agree on the detailed definitions of the industries.
Other objectives of the NAICS project are not as relevant in this area of the classification
as in others. These objectives are the delineation of new and emerging industries, service
industries, and industries engaged in the production of advanced technologies. The industry
subsector in question is relatively mature, generally produces goods, and has employed
relatively stable technology. Therefore, the emphasis was on the objectives listed above.
The industries have high specialization ratios, and they are economically significant. The
detail and structure of the classification are balanced in size. This enhances the
classification's suitability for sampling, data-publishing and other aspects of survey
operations. For Textile Mills and Textile Product Mills, disruptions to time series have been
kept to a minimum. In Apparel Manufacturing, however, the establishment of a separate
industry for cut and sew contractors results in a change for the U.S. to nearly all of the
existing apparel industries. A link between the old and new industries will be provided where
possible.

Section B-Annex: United States National Industry Detail
As explained in the Structure presentation of this notice, for a number of reasons 4-digit
industries in the three NAICS industry subsectors presented in Part 1, Section A--Attachment
1, contain less detail than is currently in the U.S. SIC system, and less detail than is required
to meet important analytical requirements in the U.S. The three country agreement on NAICS
envisions that each country may develop national detailed industries below the NAICS
industry level, so long as the national detail can be aggregated to the NAICS classification,
thus assuring full North American comparability.
The ECPC is proposing U.S. 5-digit industry detail for the three NAICS industry
subsectors covered in Part I of this notice. For cases where no 5-digit detail is shown, the
ECPC is proposing that the NAICS 4-digit industries will also represent the most detailed
U.S. industries.
TABLE 1
The definitions of status codes are as follows: E-existing industry; N-new industry; R-revised industry; and * means "part of". The abbreviation NEC is used for Not Elsewhere Classified.
