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 a variety of information technology services that are not classified elsewhere. It encompasses activities such as computer disaster recovery, forensic services, quality auditing of computer systems, and the installation of both personal and mainframe computers, as well as software installation.
This classification includes
- computer disaster recovery
- computer forensic services
- computer system quality auditing services
- installation (setting-up) of personal computers
- installation of mainframe and similar computers
- software installation
Licences and approvals
What this activity needs to operate

Offshore profits claim feasibility
MediumWhile some IT services can be delivered remotely, many activities require local presence or interaction with Hong Kong clients. Contracts are often negotiated in Hong Kong, making it challenging to qualify for offshore treatment.
