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 subclass covers the retail sale of various types of furniture and fixtures, including items made from different materials. It includes the sale of products such as bookcases, kitchen cupboards, safes, and other furniture items directly to consumers.
This classification includes
- bookcase, retail sale
- fixtures of all materials, retail sale
- furniture of all materials, retail sale
- kitchen cupboard, retail sale
- nylon bed, retail sale
- safe, retail sale
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 is inherently tied to Hong Kong premises and customers. Retail sales typically involve direct transactions with local consumers, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment. Contracts are usually negotiated and concluded within Hong Kong.
