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
LowMedical practitioners' offices are inherently tied to Hong Kong as they provide services to local patients. Contracts for medical services are typically negotiated and concluded within Hong Kong, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
