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
MediumThis activity involves wholesale trading, which may allow for offshore contracts. However, the nature of the products often ties the business to local customers and suppliers, limiting the feasibility of qualifying for non-taxable treatment.
