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 buttons typically requires physical premises in Hong Kong for production. Additionally, the majority of contracts are negotiated and executed locally, making it difficult to qualify for offshore tax treatment.
