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 power-driven hand tools that are typically used for various construction, woodworking, and metalworking tasks. It includes tools such as electric drills, circular saws, electric grinders, and hand-held power sanders, which are designed to enhance efficiency and precision in manual operations.

This classification includes

  • circular or reciprocating saws
  • electric drills and hammer drills
  • electric grinders
  • electric planers, manufacturing
  • hand-held power sanders
  • rivet guns

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

Manufacturing activities are typically tied to local premises and require physical presence in Hong Kong. While some components may be exported, the production process and contracts are often negotiated locally, limiting the potential for offshore treatment.
