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 manufacturing of gloves primarily made from genuine leather or textile fabrics, as well as gloves made from leather substitutes. It excludes the production of gloves made from plastic and rubber materials.
This classification includes

- gloves of textile fabrics, manufacturing
- gloves, wholly or mainly of genuine leather, 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
MediumThe manufacture of gloves is typically tied to local operations and customers in Hong Kong. While some materials may be sourced internationally, the production process and sales often occur within the region, limiting offshore tax benefits.
