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.

These activities look similar but belong under different codes.
- air or vacuum pumps, air or other gas compressors, manufacturing
- mechanical power transmission equipment, manufacturing
- pumps for non-hydraulic applications, manufacturing
- valves for non-fluid power applications, 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
MediumManufacturing activities are typically tied to local operations and require physical presence in Hong Kong. Contracts for manufacturing are often negotiated locally, making it challenging to qualify for offshore treatment.
