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
MediumWhile wholesale activities can be conducted offshore, the nature of this business often involves local contracts and customers. Many transactions may require physical presence in Hong Kong for logistics and distribution, limiting the potential for offshore treatment.
