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.
This activity involves the export trading of computers and computer peripheral equipment, which includes items such as computer systems, monitors, printers, and storage devices. Businesses engaged in this subclass facilitate the sale and distribution of these products to international markets.
