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 types of toys, including but not limited to dolls, action figures, and educational toys. It encompasses the sale of toys through physical stores or online platforms, catering to consumers of all ages.

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
LowRetail activities such as selling toys are inherently tied to the local market and require physical presence in Hong Kong. Contracts are typically negotiated with local suppliers and customers, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
