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 types of confectioneries and biscuits, including cookies, egg rolls, and other similar products. It encompasses the wholesale distribution of these items to international markets.

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

While export trading can be conducted offshore, the nature of the business often requires contracts to be negotiated in Hong Kong. Additionally, logistical operations and warehousing may necessitate a physical presence in the region, impacting the offshore status.
