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 production of various types of glue and adhesives used for bonding materials together. It includes the manufacturing of white glues and other adhesive products, which are utilized in a wide range of applications across different industries.
This classification includes
- adhesives, manufacturing
- glues, manufacturing
- white glues, manufacturing

Offshore profits claim feasibility
LowThe manufacture of glue is typically conducted within Hong Kong premises and involves local customers. Contracts for this activity are often negotiated and concluded in Hong Kong, making it less feasible for offshore tax treatment.
