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 distribution of rubber products, including items such as rubber bands and rubber stripes. It encompasses the buying and selling of rubber in bulk to retailers or other businesses rather than direct sales 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 rubber wholesale can involve international trade, many transactions may be negotiated and concluded in Hong Kong. The presence of local customers and suppliers often ties the activity to the region, limiting the feasibility of offshore tax treatment.
