Company for an online shop and eMAG Marketplace

1Which CAEN code to choose

CAEN Rev. 3 no longer has a separate code for selling online. The code is chosen by the products you sell, however you sell them: in a shop, online or on a marketplace.

Registered with the old code 4791 (internet retail)? See the codes it splits into and choose the ones for your products.

Names are the official Romanian CAEN Rev. 3 titles. A PFA can have at most 5 CAEN classes; an SRL, any number. Search other codes by activity.

3PFA or SRL?

• PFA: good to start, with low volume. At most 5 CAEN classes, so a limited number of product categories.
• SRL: suits you if you sell many categories, hold large stock or want to protect your personal assets.

Compare what you keep in each case in the calculator.

4What your online shop must include

• Company details: name, tax ID (CUI), Trade Register number and registered address.
• Terms and conditions, return policy (14 days for consumers) and privacy policy.
• Links to alternative dispute resolution (ANPC) and the EU ODR platform.

If you sell to consumers in other EU countries, special VAT rules apply above a threshold. Your accountant helps with them.
