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.

Licences and approvals
What this activity needs to operate

Offshore profits claim feasibility
LowThe manufacture of starches and starch products typically requires physical premises and equipment in Hong Kong. Additionally, the products are often sold to local customers or businesses, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
