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.

Licences and approvals
What this activity needs to operate

Offshore profits claim feasibility
LowMaternity homes provide services that are inherently tied to Hong Kong premises and clientele. Contracts for these services are typically negotiated and concluded within Hong Kong, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
