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
LowThe wholesale of spectacles and optical supplies typically involves transactions with local retailers and customers in Hong Kong. Contracts are often negotiated and concluded within the region, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
