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 imitation jewellery and related articles, which includes non-precious items designed to resemble fine jewellery. It encompasses the sale of various types of fashion accessories that are not made from precious metals or stones.

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 wholesale activities can involve international trade, they often require a physical presence in Hong Kong for operations. Contracts are typically negotiated with local suppliers or customers, making it less likely for profits to qualify for offshore treatment.
