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 subclass covers the retail sale of new goods that are not classified under any specific category. It includes a wide range of miscellaneous items such as funeral articles, life jackets, packing materials, and various other products that do not fit into more defined retail categories.
