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 copper castings through the process of casting. It includes the melting and pouring of copper into molds to create various shapes and forms for use in different applications.

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
LowCopper foundries typically operate from physical premises in Hong Kong. The production and casting processes are closely tied to local operations and customers. Contracts are often negotiated and executed within Hong Kong, limiting the potential for offshore tax treatment.
