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 activity involves providing foot reflexology services, which are therapeutic treatments that apply pressure to specific points on the feet. These treatments are based on the belief that these points correspond to different organs and systems in the body, promoting relaxation and overall well-being.
