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 is inherently tied to Hong Kong as it involves loading and unloading services at local transport hubs. Contracts are typically negotiated and executed within Hong Kong, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
