Who Should and Shouldn't Visit the Canton Fair

Who should go:

• You should go if you have been finding Suppliers via Alibaba and want to make the next leap
• You should go if you have current Suppliers who will be exhibiting at the fair (makes it easy to meet and a greet with multiple Suppliers)
• You should go if you're a first time business visitor to China (the Canton Fair is very Western friendly)
• You should go if you're importing mass-market consumer commodities

Who Shouldn't Go

• You shouldn't go if you've visited China before and your industry has better industry-specific trade shows (i.e. if you're importing fishing products and there are Fishing and Hunting trade show in China)
• You shouldn't go if you have a short amount of time in China and your first priorities are in far away provinces and cities (i.e. Beijing, Shanghai, etc.)

When to Go to the Canton Fair

Both the Spring and Fall session of the Canton Fair are nearly identical. The Spring session is ideal for finding products for Christmas. The Fall session is ideal for finding products for the next calendar year.

In terms of weather, October and April are very similar. Comfortably warm but not suffocating. Always humid – expect to shower multiple times per day.
