Question 1

When is the Canton Fair held?

Accepted Answer

The Canton Fair (China Import and Export Fair) runs twice a year in Guangzhou — a spring and an autumn session — each split into three phases with different product categories. See the dates above; we only list dates once the organizer publishes them.

Question 2

Which phase should I attend?

Accepted Answer

Choose by product category rather than by travel convenience. Each phase fills the halls with completely different exhibitors. Tell us what you source and we will help you match it to the right phase.

Question 3

Do I need a buyer badge?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Overseas buyers enter with a buyer badge applied for through the official Canton Fair Buyer Service System. Pre-registering before you travel is strongly recommended. Always follow the organizer’s current instructions.

Question 4

Where is the fair held?

Accepted Answer

At the China Import and Export Fair Complex on Pazhou Island, Haizhu District, Guangzhou. The complex is divided into Areas A, B, C and D and is served by Guangzhou Metro Line 8 (Xingangdong and Pazhou stations).

Question 5

Can you arrange factory visits?

Accepted Answer

Where suppliers agree and schedules allow, we can help coordinate factory visits before, during or after your phase. Availability depends on the supplier and location.

Question 6

Can you ship what I buy to my country?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We arrange shipping from China to your destination. Routes, transit times and costs depend on your cargo, destination and regulations, so every shipment is quoted individually.
