What changed

Before — SSIC 2020
46900
Wholesale trade of a variety of goods without a dominant product

This sub-class includes wholesale of a variety of goods without dominant product(s), i.e., where firm wholesale products covering at least 5 SSIC classes and no single product contributes more than 50% of the firm's value added. If there is a particular trade specialisation or one main product type that contributes most to the firm's value-added (which can be proxied by profit, else revenue), then the firm should be classified under the corresponding SSIC code based on this main product type: e.g., - wholesale of agricultural raw materials and live animals - wholesale of machinery, equipment and supplies When there are multiple products that contribute similarly to the firm's value-added, the top-down approach applies (Refer to SSIC report for more details on the top-down approach).

After — SSIC 2025
52101
General warehousing

This sub-class includes the operation of warehouse and/or storage facilities for general merchandise. Examples of goods stored are general merchandise, base metals, soft commodities (e.g., agricultural crops) and/or warehousing of furniture not part of a removal service.

Frequently asked questions

Why was my SSIC code automatically changed from 46900 to 52101?
Singapore's national industrial classification was updated from SSIC 2020 to SSIC 2025, effective 9 May 2026. ACRA's BizFile+ system automatically mapped every existing entity to its closest SSIC 2025 equivalent using the official SingStat correspondence table. The code SSIC 46900 (Wholesale trade of a variety of goods without a dominant product) was reclassified to SSIC 52101 (General warehousing) under that mapping.
Do I need to take any action?
Usually no. If your business activity is unchanged, the new code accurately reflects it under SSIC 2025 and no manual update is needed. You should only update if (a) the auto-mapped code doesn't match what you actually do, (b) your activity has changed independently, or (c) you claim a sector-specific licence or grant tied to the old code.
How many Singapore companies were affected by this specific recode?
Based on the change log we've maintained since the 9 May 2026 cutover, 22 companies have been reclassified from SSIC 46900 to SSIC 52101. Of those, 16 had it as their primary SSIC code and 7 as a secondary code.
What's the difference between SSIC 46900 and SSIC 52101?
SSIC 46900 was titled "Wholesale trade of a variety of goods without a dominant product". Under SSIC 2025, the equivalent activity sits at SSIC 52101 ("General warehousing"). The two cover the same underlying activity per SingStat's official correspondence table; the SSIC 2025 title and number reflect the updated classification.
