One of the key features of non-equilibrium steady states (NESS) is the presence of non-trivial probability currents. We propose a general classification of NESS in which these currents play a central distinguishing role. As a corollary, we specify the transformations of the dynamic transition rates which leave a given NESS invariant. The formalism is most transparent within a continuous-time master equation framework since it allows for a general graph-theoretical representation of the NESS. We discuss the consequences of these transformations for entropy production, present several simple examples, and explore some generalizations, to discrete time and continuous variables.
