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 casting of non-ferrous metals that are not classified elsewhere. It includes processes such as die-casting and the production of various non-ferrous metal castings, which are used in a wide range of applications across different industries.

This classification includes

  • casting of other non-ferrous metal castings
  • die-casting of other non-ferrous metal castings

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

While some non-ferrous metal casting can be performed offshore, the nature of the industry often requires physical presence in Hong Kong for sourcing materials and fulfilling contracts. Additionally, many clients may be based in Hong Kong, making it less feasible to qualify for offshore treatment.
