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 embroidered textiles, which can include decorative stitching applied to fabric using either hand or machine techniques. It encompasses the incorporation of beads and other embellishments onto clothing and other textile products.
This classification includes
- beads, sewing onto clothing
- embroidery, by hand or machine
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 manufacture of embroidery typically requires physical presence in Hong Kong for production and distribution. Contracts are often negotiated locally, and services are performed within the region, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
