Everyone who wants to engage in entrepreneurial activity and private business needs to find out the necessary OKVED codes. When opening an LLC or IE, the application must indicate the list of OKVED codes corresponding to the occupations of the registered individual or legal entity.
2
If you decide to open a business or production, then you already know the types of activities that will be your main ones. Before searching for codes, formulate specific areas for yourself to make it easier to find them in the list.

To find the codes you need, you will either need to download the OKVED reference book, or use the online help located at http://www.okvad.ru/ .

All codes on OKVED are classified according to a common attribute, which is the type of activity. For example, the very first section is "Agriculture, Hunting and Forestry". This section contains all the activities related to this category. Also with other sections.
5
View the code section headings. To find the codes you need, it’s not at all necessary to browse the entire huge list, you need to select several categories that your activity may include and browse only them. For example, if you are going to grow sugar beets, then, looking at the headings, you open the codes for Agriculture, and there you already find "01.11.5 Growing sugar beets." 11.11.5 - this is exactly the code you need for OKVED.
6
OKVED codes are indicated on Sheet A, which is attached to the Application for registration of an IP or LLC as a taxpayer. On one sheet, you can write up to 10 codes. If there are more codes, use additional sheets.
7
When registering, you can specify an unlimited number of codes, but some of them require a license, while others do not allow the use of such a form of taxation as USN. Some codes in certain regions will lead to the fact that you will automatically have to submit reports on UTII, even if activities for which such a form of accounting is necessary are not conducted. Therefore, swinging too much is also not worth it.
note
When choosing codes for OKVED, try to cover all possible options for activities that you may need. If you do not do all of the above, it’s okay, but for activities not included in the list of codes, penalties from the tax authorities may follow.
Useful advice
If in the future you need to include other activities in the list of codes, this can easily be done by submitting an application to the tax service. For a small fee changes will be made.
