Why 6 digits?
HSIC subclasses are 6 digits. The first four match the international ISIC class; Hong Kong adds a two-digit local suffix for finer detail, especially across its import and export trade, so a code steps from a 4-digit class straight to a 6-digit subclass. More on the HSIC structure.
This activity involves the processing of animal fats, specifically the rendering of lard and tallow, which are derived from the fat of pigs and cattle. The rendering process transforms these fats into edible products suitable for cooking and food preparation.
This classification includes
- rendering of lard and other edible fats of animal origin
Licences and approvals
What this activity needs to operate
No sector-specific licence applies to this activity. It can be set up as a standard Hong Kong company without extra regulatory approvals. Premises-based or product-based permits can still apply case by case; Emerhub confirms the exact position during scoping.
Offshore profits claim feasibility
LowThis activity is closely tied to local operations, as rendering typically requires physical premises and equipment. Additionally, the products are often sold to local markets or customers, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
