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 the installation of carpets, the fitting of upholstery on furniture, and the application of wallpaper to walls. It encompasses services related to enhancing interior spaces through textile and decorative finishes.

Licences and approvals
What this activity needs to operate
No sector-specific licence applies to this activity. It can be set up as a standard Hong Kong company without extra regulatory approvals. Premises-based or product-based permits can still apply case by case; Emerhub confirms the exact position during scoping.
Offshore profits claim feasibility
LowThis activity typically requires physical presence in Hong Kong for installation and service delivery. Contracts are usually negotiated with local clients, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment. The nature of the services ties them closely to the local market.
