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 animal and pet feeds, including those specifically formulated for poultry, pets, and aquarium fish. It encompasses the wholesale distribution of these products to international markets.
This classification includes
- feeds for aquarium fish, export trading
- feeds for pets, export trading
- feeds for poultry and animals, 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, the nature of animal and pet feeds may require some operations or contracts to be tied to Hong Kong. Additionally, sourcing and logistics may involve local suppliers or facilities.
