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 wrist watchbands made from leather or other non-metallic materials. It encompasses the entire manufacturing process, including design, cutting, stitching, and finishing of these watchbands.
This classification includes
- wrist watchbands of leather, manufacturing
- wrist watchbands of other non-metallic, 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
MediumManufacturing activities are typically tied to local premises and labor in Hong Kong. Contracts for manufacturing are often negotiated locally, making it challenging to qualify for offshore treatment. The nature of production requires a physical presence in Hong Kong.
