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 basic copper and copper alloys typically requires physical presence in Hong Kong for production and distribution. Contracts are often negotiated locally, and the activity is closely tied to local operations and customers.
