Navigating the Canton Fair: A Guide for First-Time African Buyers

The World's Largest Trade Show

Held twice a year (April/May and October/November) in Guangzhou, the Canton Fair is massive. It covers millions of square meters and features tens of thousands of suppliers. Going in without a plan is a mistake.

Expert Tips for Success

  1. Pre-Register Online: Apply for your Buyer Badge online before arriving in China to save time and money. Use the Fair’s invitation to support your visa application.
  2. Know Your Phase: The fair is split into 3 phases (e.g., Phase 1 is Electronics & Machinery, Phase 2 is Consumer Goods, Phase 3 is Textiles & Medical). Only travel during the phase that matches your industry.
  3. Wear Comfortable Shoes: You will walk over 10 kilometers a day.
  4. Bring a Trolley Bag: You will collect hundreds of heavy catalogs and samples.

Rehoboth Cargo provides dedicated translators and guides to accompany you inside the fair, helping you communicate and document supplier details efficiently.
