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
LowPolitical organisation activities are typically tied to local premises and engage directly with Hong Kong constituents. Contracts and services are usually negotiated and performed within Hong Kong, making offshore treatment unlikely.
