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 instruction in various sports and recreational activities that are not classified elsewhere. It encompasses teaching skills related to archery, chess, cycling, shooting, bridge, and other card games.
This classification includes
- archery instruction
- chess instruction
- cycling instruction
- shooting instruction
- bridge and other card games instruction
