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

Medium

While export trading can occur offshore, the nature of meat trading often involves contracts negotiated in Hong Kong. Additionally, compliance with local food safety regulations ties the activity to Hong Kong, affecting the offshore treatment.
