This tool helps Statistics Canada analysts assign North American Product Classification System (NAPCS) codes to written product descriptions submitted by manufacturers and logging companies. It recommends codes automatically, but a human analyst reviews and confirms each suggestion before it is applied. The system does not process personal information. Its use is disclosed to the government employees who operate it.
