Canton Fair services 广交会服务

Canton Fair sourcing, with your interests represented.

The China Import & Export Fair in Guangzhou is the world's largest trade fair. Three phases each spring and autumn, more booths than a week can hold. We plan it, walk it with you or for you, and verify the suppliers before your deposit moves.

Attend with you or for you · Suppliers verified before deposits move

What it is 概述

Everyone flies home with contacts. Fewer fly home with suppliers.

The Canton Fair runs twice a year in three phases, each phase its own universe of product categories. Prepared buyers work from a shortlist, negotiate through someone who catches the numbers said in Mandarin, and leave with samples and verifiable companies, not a bag of brochures.

The second half of the service happens after the handshake: licence checks, factory-or-trader verification, NNN agreements, purchase terms, sample control, then QC and shipping once the order is running. That part decides whether the fair was worth the airfare.

The problem it solves

痛点
  • Flying 10,000 km to collect brochures and WeChat contacts nobody can verify once you're home.

  • Wiring a deposit to a "factory" that is actually a trading company with a booth and a mark-up.

  • Booth prices that drift upward between the handshake and the pro forma invoice.

Deliverables 交付清单

From booth shortlist to landed order.

Pre-fair sourcing brief & shortlist

Your products, target prices and quality standards turned into a plan: which phase, which halls, which booths are worth your feet.

Accompanied fair days

A sourcing agent and interpreter beside you at the booth, the numbers, the terms and the things said sideways in Mandarin, all caught.

Supplier verification reports

Business licence and registered scope, registered capital, factory versus trading company, export record, and a site visit where the order size warrants it.

Negotiation & contract support

NNN agreements before you share designs; purchase orders with terms that survive a dispute. See Legal & Compliance.

Sample management

Samples chased, received, checked against your spec and forwarded, with notes on anything that changed from the booth version.

Order follow-up

Deposits staged against milestones, production tracked, QC booked, freight coordinated. See Logistics & Trade.

Pricing 费用

Priced per fair, agreed before you fly.

Cost depends on days on-site, whether we attend with you or for you, how many suppliers you want verified and how far the follow-up runs. You get a fixed quote in writing before the fair opens, not an hourly meter running through the halls.

  • Fair attendance at day rates agreed in advance
  • Verification reports priced per supplier. Order the depth you need
  • Fair + verification + order follow-up bundles available

Why HCSG for this 凭什么

We negotiate in the seller's language, on the buyer's side.

Clients from 50+ countries. We know what your market expects and what a Chinese factory will assume unless told otherwise.

Verification by documents, not signage. Licence, capital and export record decide who's a factory; the booth banner doesn't.

We stay for the order. QC, contracts and shipping are where fair wins are kept or lost, so the service doesn't stop at the exit gate.

FAQ 展会问答

Asked before every fair.

01When is the Canton Fair?

Twice a year in Guangzhou: a spring session around April, May and an autumn session around October, November, each split into three phases by product category. We confirm the current dates and tell you which phase. Sometimes which single day. Matters for your products.

02Can you attend the fair without me?

Yes. Brief us on products, target prices and quantities; we walk the relevant halls, collect quotes and samples, and report back with photos, prices and a shortlist worth verifying. You then decide from your own desk which suppliers go to the next stage.

03How do you verify a supplier?

Business licence and registered scope, registered capital, whether it's a factory or a trading company, export history, and a site visit where the order justifies it. It's documentary work, which is exactly why booth impressions can't replace it.

04Do I need a China company to use this?

No. Sourcing support stands alone. Brief, fair, verification, order. At a certain purchasing volume an entity of your own starts to pay for itself; when you're near that line, read Why Hainan and we'll run the numbers with you.

05What happens after the fair?

The part that decides everything: contracts, deposits, production, QC and shipping. Treat the fair as supplier discovery and the order as the real project, our Logistics & Trade service carries it from purchase order to port.

Client words 客户之声

From clients who’ve done this.

Years of China trade through other people’s companies. HCSG set up my own in Haikou, and the margin stays with me. Brother, these people don’t disappear after you pay.

People laughed when I said I’d open a China company without an agent taking half. HCSG did it properly: real licence, real bank account, my name on everything.

Straight people. The quote they gave me at the start is exactly what I paid at the end. In this business, that alone tells you everything.
