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
LowThis activity involves importing telecommunications equipment for wholesale, which typically requires physical presence in Hong Kong for storage and distribution. Contracts are often negotiated with local customers, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
