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 stencilling and printing of textiles specifically for garments and accessories. It includes processes that apply designs or patterns onto fabric materials used in the production of made-up textile goods that are not classified elsewhere.
This classification includes
- garments and accessories, printing
- made-up textile goods n.e.c., printing
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 inherently tied to Hong Kong as it involves local premises and customers. Printing services are typically performed within Hong Kong, and contracts are often negotiated with local clients. Thus, it does not qualify for offshore non-taxable treatment.
