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.
This activity involves the retail sale of imitation jewellery, which includes items made from non-precious materials designed to resemble fine jewellery. It also encompasses related articles, such as decorative accessories and adornments that are not made from genuine gemstones or precious metals.
