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 subclass covers the manufacturing processes involved in producing alcoholic beverages other than beer. It includes the blending of wine, the production of distilled alcoholic beverages such as spirits, and the manufacturing of fermented alcoholic beverages, as well as the production of yeast specifically for wine fermentation.
This classification includes
- blending of wine
- distilled alcoholic beverages (including Chinese type) manufacturing
- fermented alcoholic beverages, manufacturing
- yeast for wine fermentation, manufacturing
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
MediumManufacturing alcoholic beverages typically requires local premises and licenses in Hong Kong. While some products may be exported, the production process is closely tied to the local market and regulations, limiting offshore treatment eligibility.
