451307Export trading of feeds for animals and pets

動物及寵物飼料出口貿易

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

Medium

While 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.
