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, many contracts are negotiated and concluded in Hong Kong. Additionally, the nature of the business often requires local presence for logistics and support, which ties it to Hong Kong operations.
