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.

Offshore profits claim feasibility
LowThe manufacture of bakery products is typically tied to local premises and customers in Hong Kong. Most contracts are negotiated and fulfilled within the region, making it difficult for profits to qualify for offshore treatment.
