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 textiles, clothing, and footwear conducted through mobile stalls. It includes vendors who sell these items from temporary setups, often at markets or public events, rather than in fixed retail locations.

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

This activity is inherently tied to Hong Kong as it involves retail sales conducted on-site. Contracts are typically negotiated and concluded with local customers, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
