Deregistration of Registered Retailer and/or Registered Retail Outlet
A registered retailer may apply to the EPD for deregistration through the submission of the "Application for Deregistration of Registered Retailer / Registered Retail Outlet" form (Form PSB-4) when-
the registered retailer is no longer a "prescribed retailer" i.e. the retailer no longer operates 5 or more qualified retail outlets in Hong Kong or at least one qualified retail outlet that has a retail floor area of not less than 200 square metres;
the registered retailer ceases to carry on a retail business in the outlet;
the outlet applying for deregistration is no longer a qualified retail outlet; and
the registered retailer ceases to provide plastic shopping bags from the outlet.
A registered retail outlet is and remains as a registered outlet of the registered retailer unless an application for deregistration has been submitted by the registered retailer and approved by the EPD.
When and where to submit?
Registered retailer should allow at least 10 working days for the EPD to process the application. The completed deregistration form should be submitted by post to:
