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 bleaching and dyeing processes applied to various types of yarn, including cotton yarn, synthetic fiber yarn, and other yarns not elsewhere classified. The focus is on preparing yarn for further textile production by altering its color and appearance through chemical treatments.
This classification includes
- cotton yarn, bleaching and dyeing
- yarn of synthetic fibre, bleaching and dyeing
- yarn n.e.c., bleaching and dyeing
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
LowThe bleaching and dyeing of yarn is typically performed in facilities located in Hong Kong. Contracts are often negotiated with local customers, making the activity inherently tied to the local market. This limits the potential for offshore profit treatment.
