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 subclass covers the wholesale trade of various types of rope, cord, and netting appliances. It includes the wholesale distribution of products such as cordage, fishing nets for recreational use, ropes, and twine.

This classification includes

  • cordage, wholesale
  • fishing nets for recreation, wholesale
  • rope, wholesale
  • twine, wholesale
