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

What this activity needs to operate

Offshore profits claim feasibility

Medium

While export trading can be conducted offshore, the nature of the business often requires contracts to be negotiated with local suppliers or buyers. Additionally, the logistics and shipping processes may involve Hong Kong premises, which ties the activity to the region.
