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 chemical products that are not classified elsewhere. It includes the production of items such as carbon black, essential oils, fabric softeners, matches, unexposed photographic plates and film, and writing and drawing inks.

This classification includes

  • carbon black, manufacturing
  • essential oils, manufacturing
  • fabric softener, manufacturing
  • matches, manufacturing
  • unexposed photographic plates and film, manufacturing
  • writing and drawing ink, manufacturing
  • chemical products 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

Medium

Manufacturing activities typically require physical premises and equipment in Hong Kong. While some products may be exported, the production process is often tied to local operations and resources, limiting the potential for offshore tax treatment.
