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 simultaneous cultivation of crops and the raising of livestock on the same farm. Mixed farming aims to optimize the use of land and resources by integrating crop production with animal husbandry.

Offshore profits claim feasibility

Low

Mixed farming activities are typically conducted on premises located in Hong Kong. The produce is often sold to local customers, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment. Contracts are usually negotiated and concluded within Hong Kong.
