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 production of fishing nets, which are used in various fishing methods to catch fish and other aquatic organisms. The manufacturing process includes the design, weaving, and finishing of nets made from various materials suitable for commercial and recreational fishing.

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 fishing nets typically requires physical premises and equipment in Hong Kong. While some components may be sourced or sold offshore, the production process is usually tied to local operations and labor, limiting the potential for offshore tax treatment.
