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 activity involves the export trading of various rubber products, including rubber bands and rubber stripes. It encompasses the buying and selling of these items in international markets.
This classification includes
- rubber band, export trading
- rubber stripes, export trading
- rubber, export trading
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
MediumWhile rubber trading can be conducted internationally, many contracts are negotiated and concluded in Hong Kong. Additionally, the presence of local customers may tie the activity to the region, affecting the offshore treatment eligibility.
