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 retail sale of various household linen products, including bed sheets, bedspreads, pillow cases, table cloths, and towels. Retailers in this subclass focus on providing these textile items directly to consumers for domestic use.
This classification includes
- bed sheets, retail sale
- bedspread, retail sale
- pillow case, retail sale
- table cloth, retail sale
- towel, retail sale

Do I need a specific license for retailing linens?
No specific license is required for retailing household linen in Hong Kong. However, general business registration is necessary.
What are the tax implications for my retail business?
Retail businesses in Hong Kong are subject to profits tax on income generated within the territory. Offshore profits may not be taxed if properly structured.
Can I sell online and still qualify for offshore treatment?
