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

Offshore profits claim feasibility

Low

The manufacture of domestic electric appliances is inherently tied to Hong Kong premises and local regulations. Most contracts are negotiated and executed within Hong Kong, making it difficult to qualify for offshore tax treatment.
