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

Offshore profits claim feasibility

Medium

While export trading can be conducted offshore, the nature of the business often requires physical presence in Hong Kong for logistics and warehousing. Contracts may be negotiated locally, which ties the activity to Hong Kong, affecting offshore tax treatment.
