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 includes various printing activities that are not classified elsewhere. It encompasses specialized processes such as hot blocking, label embossing, and the ornamentation of greeting cards, which enhance the visual appeal and functionality of printed materials.
This classification includes
- hot blocking
- label embossing
- ornamentation of greeting cards
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
MediumWhile some printing activities can be performed offshore, many services require physical presence in Hong Kong for production and client interaction. Contracts are often negotiated locally, making it challenging to qualify for offshore treatment.
