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 production of machinery specifically designed for use in metallurgy, including equipment for handling hot metals such as converters, ingot moulds, ladles, and casting machines. It also includes the manufacturing of metal rolling mills and the rolls used in these mills.
This classification includes
- equipment for handling hot metals (e.g. converters, ingot moulds, ladles, casting machines), manufacturing
- metal rolling mills and rolls for such mills, 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
MediumThe manufacture of machinery for metallurgy typically requires physical presence and operations in Hong Kong. Contracts are often negotiated locally, and the products are likely to be sold to local customers or require local licensing, limiting offshore tax benefits.
