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 transport equipment that are not classified as motor vehicles or motorcycles. It includes the sale of bicycles, boats, and pleasure crafts, as well as their accessories and parts.
This classification includes
- accessories and parts for bicycle, retail sale
- bicycles, retail sale
- boats, retail sale
- parts of boats, retail sale
- parts of pleasure craft, retail sale
- pleasure crafts, 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 involves retail sales that are inherently tied to Hong Kong premises and customers. Contracts for sales are typically negotiated and concluded within Hong Kong, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
