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
LowSwimming pool services are typically performed on-site in Hong Kong. Contracts are often negotiated with local customers, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment. The activity is inherently tied to the local market and premises.
