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 includes various finishing and specialized construction activities that are not classified elsewhere. It encompasses tasks such as de-humidification of buildings and stone blasting, along with other unique construction works that do not fit into standard categories.

This classification includes

  • de-humidification of buildings
  • stone blasting
  • specialised construction works, n.e.c.

Classified elsewhere

These activities look similar but belong under different codes.

  • recruitment agent of construction workers

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

This activity often requires physical presence in Hong Kong for construction and finishing works. Contracts are usually negotiated locally, and services are performed on-site, making it less likely to qualify for offshore treatment.
