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
LowProfits from amusement parks and theme parks are typically tied to local customers and require physical premises in Hong Kong. Contracts are often negotiated and executed within the region, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
