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 includes various land transport services that do not fall under more specific categories. It encompasses activities such as the rental of trucks and limousines without drivers, services using animal-drawn vehicles, and transport methods like rickshaws, pipelines, and travellators.
This classification includes
- animal-drawn vehicle service
- limousine rental without driver
- rickshaw or trishaw service
- transport via pipeline
- transport via travellator or similar system
- truck rental without driver
- other land transport n.e.c.

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 some transport services can be conducted offshore, many activities require a physical presence in Hong Kong. Services like truck rental and limousine services often cater to local clients, making them less likely to qualify for offshore treatment.
