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 umbrellas, which includes various types and styles sold directly to consumers. Retailers in this subclass may operate physical stores or online platforms, focusing specifically on the distribution of umbrellas.

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

Low

The retail sale of umbrellas is inherently tied to Hong Kong premises and customers. Contracts are typically negotiated and concluded within Hong Kong, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
