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 social work activities that do not provide accommodation. It encompasses services such as counseling, support for disaster victims, assistance for refugees and immigrants, family welfare, marriage advisory services, and charitable activities aimed at social support.
This classification includes
- activities for taking care of disaster victims, refugees, immigrants etc.
- counselling services
- eligibility determination in connection with welfare aid
- family welfare agency
- marriage advisory services
- prevention of cruelty to children and others
- social centres
- charitable activities like fund-raising or other supporting activities aimed at social work

Offshore profits claim feasibility
LowThis activity is inherently tied to Hong Kong as it involves direct interaction with local clients and requires local licenses. Services are typically performed within Hong Kong, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
