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

Low

This activity typically requires physical presence in Hong Kong for repairs and maintenance. Contracts are often negotiated with local clients, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment. The services are inherently tied to the local market and regulatory environment.
