# Trade Type
## Introduction
Once the [Trade Categories](https://docs.digit.org/local-governance/access/local-governance-stack/trade-license-tl/tl-master-data-templates/trade-category) are defined, the next task is to -
* Define Trade Types
* Map Trade Category to listed Trade Types
The Trade Type can be defined as the next (2nd) level classification of Trade. There can be multiple trade types and the list may vary from one State/ULB to another.
