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 includes various service activities that support land transportation but are not classified elsewhere. It encompasses the operation of railroad infrastructure and related activities, as well as vehicle towing and roadside assistance services.
This classification includes
- operation of railroad infrastructure and related activities
- vehicle towing and road side assistance
Classified elsewhere
These activities look similar but belong under different codes.
- rental of motor vehicles without driver

Offshore profits claim feasibility
LowThis activity typically involves operations that are closely tied to Hong Kong premises and customers. Services such as vehicle towing and roadside assistance are usually performed within the region, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
