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 plastic bags is typically tied to local operations and customers in Hong Kong. Contracts for these products are often negotiated and fulfilled within the region, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
