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
What this activity needs to operate

Offshore profits claim feasibility
MediumProfits from wholesale activities may qualify for offshore treatment if contracts are negotiated and concluded outside of Hong Kong. However, the nature of the business often requires local presence for distribution and customer engagement, which ties it to Hong Kong.
