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 of various garments and clothing items that are not classified elsewhere. It includes the production of specialized clothing such as swimwear and cerements, as well as other types of apparel that do not fit into more specific categories.
This classification includes
- cerements, manufacturing
- swimwear, manufacturing
- garments and clothings n.e.c., 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
LowManufacturing garments and clothing typically requires physical presence in Hong Kong for production and distribution. Contracts are usually negotiated and concluded locally, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment. The activity is inherently tied to the local market and infrastructure.
