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 confectioneries and biscuits, including various types of cookies and egg rolls. Businesses engaged in this subclass purchase these products in bulk from manufacturers or importers and sell them to retailers or other wholesalers.
This classification includes
- biscuits, wholesale
- confectioneries, wholesale
- cookies, wholesale
- egg rolls, 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
LowThe wholesale of confectioneries and biscuits typically involves operations that are closely tied to the local market. Contracts are usually negotiated and concluded within Hong Kong, and the goods are often sold to local retailers or consumers, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
