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 hand tools and metal hardware items. It includes the production of door locks, padlocks, key sets, lock sets, and other locksmith's wares, as well as general metal hardware not elsewhere classified.
This classification includes
- door lock, manufacturing
- hand tools, manufacturing
- key, manufacturing
- lock sets, manufacturing
- locksmith's wares, manufacturing
- padlock, manufacturing
- general metal hardware 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
LowManufacturing activities are typically tied to physical premises in Hong Kong. The production of hand tools and metal hardware usually involves local operations and sales to customers within the region, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
