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 manufacturing of steam generators that are not used for central heating hot water boilers. It includes the production of auxiliary plants that support boiler operations, such as condensers, economisers, superheaters, and steam collectors and accumulators.

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
LowThe manufacture of steam generators is typically tied to local operations and customers. Contracts are often negotiated and fulfilled within Hong Kong, making it difficult to qualify for offshore non-taxable treatment. The activity requires physical presence and compliance with local regulations.
