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 motor vehicles, including motor cars, buses, lorries, and trucks. It encompasses both new and second-hand vehicles, focusing on the international sale and distribution of these vehicles to foreign 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
MediumWhile export trading can be conducted offshore, the activity often involves contracts negotiated in Hong Kong. Additionally, the logistics and operations may require a physical presence in Hong Kong, which affects the offshore status.
