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 typically involves retail sales conducted within Hong Kong. Contracts are usually negotiated and concluded with local customers, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment. The nature of retail operations ties them closely to the local market.
