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 wholesale importation of fabrics, which includes various types of textile materials used in manufacturing and production. It encompasses the buying and selling of these fabrics to retailers or other businesses rather than directly to consumers.

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 fabrics can be imported and sold wholesale, the activity often involves local operations and customer interactions in Hong Kong. Contracts may be negotiated locally, which ties the business to the Hong Kong market.
