What is the Canton Fair? The China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair for short, in Chinese: 广交会) has been held since the mid-20th century, making it the longest-running trade fair in China. It is held twice a year, in the spring at the end of April and early May, and in the fall at the end of October and early November. The Canton Fair is organized by the China Foreign Trade Center. This massive event is organized both online and offline. Additionally, both events are mostly free of charge! The offline fair is divided into three phases, each lasting several days: The first phase focuses on electrical and electronic tools, machinery, and related industries. The second phase brings together entrepreneurs from the gift, consumer goods, and home furnishings sectors. The third phase features exhibitors specializing in clothing, textiles, food, and medical equipment. Website: cantonfair.org.cn

Tips about Canton Fair

1. To participate in the Canton Fair, you must first register on the Canton Fair website to receive an invitation letter, which you must use to obtain a Chinese visa.

2. During the Canton Fair, the expenses associated with it will be higher than usual. Please set aside a budget for participating in the Canton Fair, including accommodation, flights, food, etc., about $3000-4000.

3. If you don't speak English, it will add more trouble. Because the exhibitors only speak English. (If you need, we can provide you with sourcing agent services, including translation)

4. Make sure you have business cards, a digital camera and a notebook to record supplier and product information. You can also use the Canton Fair website to pre-search potential suppliers.
