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 solid fuels, including firewood, charcoal, coke, and similar products. It encompasses the buying and selling of these fuels to international markets.
This classification includes
- charcoal, export trading
- coal, export trading
- coke, export trading
- firewood, 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 the business often requires contracts to be negotiated and concluded in Hong Kong. Additionally, logistics and shipping arrangements may tie the activity to local operations.
