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 manufacturing of knitted and crocheted hosiery is typically conducted within Hong Kong, utilizing local resources and labor. Contracts for these products are often negotiated and concluded in Hong Kong, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
