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 process of combining various pigments to create specific colors or shades for use in paints, coatings, and other materials. The mixing of pigments is essential for achieving desired visual effects and ensuring product consistency in manufacturing.

Offshore profits claim feasibility
LowThe mixing of pigments is typically performed within Hong Kong premises and is often tailored for local customers. Contracts for these services are usually negotiated and concluded in Hong Kong, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
