Hong Kong Cross-Border E-Commerce & Overseas Expansion Corporate Directory & Search

Hong Kong provides unrestricted currency convertibility, no local sales tax or VAT, lower profits tax rates (8.25% on the first HK$2M), seamless integration with global payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Airwallex), and high trust among global platforms like Amazon, eBay, and TikTok Shop.

Platforms typically require the Certificate of Incorporation (CI), valid Business Registration Certificate (BR), Form NAR1 Annual Return (or Form NNC1 for new companies), proof of business address, bank account statement in the company's legal name, and government ID of primary directors/UBOs.

Hong Kong adheres to a territorial source principle of taxation. If a company can prove with complete documentary evidence that contracts were negotiated, concluded, and executed entirely outside Hong Kong, it may apply to the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) for offshore profits tax exemption through an offshore claim audit.

By entering the company name or 8-digit BRN on 86hc.com, you can verify whether the firm is active (Live), examine its incorporation history, inspect director names, and confirm whether it holds genuine business registration without relying on unverifiable promotional claims.

Platforms and payment processors employ automated risk algorithms. If dozens of seller accounts share the exact same virtual secretarial address without distinct operational identity, platforms may trigger mass linked account suspensions.

Official registry filings (NAR1, CI, BR) are retrieved directly from the Companies Registry ICRIS system with valid government barcodes and delivered instantly or with expedited CPA CTC authentication.

Registering a trademark with the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Department (IPD) protects proprietary branding and qualifies sellers for platform brand registries (like Amazon Brand Registry), preventing counterfeiters from hijacking listings.
