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 export trading activities of agricultural products and live animals that are not classified elsewhere. It includes the trading of specific items such as bamboo, goose and duck feathers, and rosin, among other agricultural goods.
This classification includes
- bamboo, export trading
- goose and duck feather, export trading
- rosin, 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 export trading can be conducted offshore, many contracts are often negotiated and concluded in Hong Kong. The nature of the business may require local presence for logistics and compliance, which ties it to Hong Kong operations.
