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.

Low

Cotton yarn spinning is typically performed in facilities located in Hong Kong. The production processes and customer interactions are often tied to the local market, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment. Contracts are usually negotiated and concluded within Hong Kong.
