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
LowThis activity involves importing bamboo and cane products for wholesale, which is inherently tied to Hong Kong premises and customers. Contracts are typically negotiated and concluded within Hong Kong, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
