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 a variety of medical and dental instruments and supplies that are not classified elsewhere. It includes the production of items such as surgical instruments, syringes, orthopedic devices, medical thermometers, and sterilizers used in medical and dental settings.
This classification includes
- dental instruments and supplies, manufacturing
- medical instruments and supplies, manufacturing
- medical thermometers, manufacturing
- medical, surgical or laboratory sterilisers, manufacturing
- orthopedic and prosthetic devices, manufacturing

These activities look similar but belong under different codes.
- electromedical and electrotherapeutic equipment, manufacturing
- hearing aids, manufacturing
- irradiation apparatus and tubes (e.g. medical diagnostic and therapeutic), 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 the sale of these instruments are often negotiated locally, making it less likely for profits to qualify for offshore treatment.
