I think you get this classification when you initially set-up your credit card agreement, and it is based on the "majority" of your business.
Merchants are assigned an MCC (merchant category) or SIC code by their acquiring institution based on the nature of their business.
Sometimes you'll see some strange ones out there - I went to a club one time that was categorized as a restaurant! You better bet I'll be using a different card to pay for my beers next time I'm there.
