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 various types of transport equipment that are not classified as motor vehicles or motorcycles. It includes the wholesale trade of bicycles, boats, and pleasure crafts, as well as their accessories and parts.
This classification includes
- accessories and parts for bicycle, import for wholesale
- bicycles, import for wholesale
- boats, import for wholesale
- parts for boats, import for wholesale
- parts for pleasure craft, import for wholesale

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
LowThis activity involves importing and wholesaling transport equipment, which typically requires physical presence in Hong Kong for storage and distribution. Contracts are often negotiated with local suppliers and customers, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
