Individual industrial and commercial households can operate independently or at home. The legitimate rights and interests of individual industrial and commercial households are protected by law, and no unit or individual may infringe upon them.
The administrative authorities for industry and commerce of counties, autonomous counties, cities not divided into districts and municipal districts are the registration authorities for individual industrial and commercial households (hereinafter referred to as the registration authorities).
