Manufacture of soap and detergents, cleaning and polishing preparations, perfumes and toilet preparations

Manufacturing is a Qualifying Activity. However, the FTA will apply the 'Substantial Transformation' test. If the process does not result in a new HS Code or significant value-add, income from mainland persons may be reclassified as non-qualifying income, potentially breaching the de minimis threshold.

Audit Red Flag

Superficial transformation where simple mixing or bottling is mischaracterized as 'Manufacturing' to circumvent the 'Excluded Activity' status of third-party distribution.
