A Sourcing Guide to the Canton Fair
Preparation, hall routes, supplier conversations, sample logging and follow-up. Verify dates and venue details through official channels.
Before the visit
Define product groups, supplier types and samples you must bring home. Do not put unverified dates or venue details into a fixed itinerary.
On site
Log booth, contact, MOQ, lead time, certification and next step by product group. Do not just collect catalogues.
After the fair
Within a week, sort samples, quotes and follow-up priority, then arrange online or factory verification.
