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
LowManufacturing activities are typically tied to local premises and require physical presence in Hong Kong. Contracts for manufacturing are usually negotiated and executed within the region, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
