Travel and the Canton Fair

How do I attend the Canton Fair from India?

Attending the Canton Fair requires a Chinese Business (M) Visa, flight bookings to Guangzhou, hotel reservations, and a buyer badge registration. We offer an all-inclusive package that handles all of these steps for you, including providing an interpreter on the ground.

What cities in China do you cover for business travel?

We cover all major manufacturing and trading hubs, primarily Guangzhou, Yiwu, Shenzhen, and Shanghai. We can also arrange custom travel to other specialized industrial clusters across China.

Do you provide interpreters during the trip?

Yes, all our travel packages include a bilingual (Hindi/English to Mandarin) guide and interpreter who understands business negotiation and technical specifications.

Can I visit factories during my trip?

Absolutely. We highly encourage factory visits. We can schedule meetings, arrange private transport, and accompany you to audit factories in person.

Ready for the Canton Fair?

Choose your phase and tell us what you buy. We plan the visa, hotel, badge and guide around it.

Visa

How long does the China Business Visa processing take?

Plan for about 3–5 weeks in total: 2–3 working days to prepare and submit the file, at least about 2 weeks for approval, then 1–2 weeks more for the visa sticker from the embassy. Express service is somewhat faster, but there is no fixed number of days; we confirm what is possible when you book. Start as early as you can.

Not Sure What Your Visa File Needs?

Tell us your travel purpose and dates. We list the documents for your case and check them before you submit.

Sourcing and Quality

Is product sourcing from China safe?

Yes, provided you do your due diligence. Our product sourcing service mitigates risks by physically visiting factories, verifying supplier licenses, negotiating contracts in Mandarin, and performing pre-shipment quality control checks.

What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) when sourcing?

MOQs vary drastically depending on the product and factory. Off-the-shelf products might have MOQs of 100 units, while custom-manufactured (OEM) products might require 1000+ units. We negotiate with suppliers to get you the lowest possible MOQs.

How much can I save by sourcing directly from China?

It depends on the product, the quantity and what you pay today. Buying from the manufacturer removes the margin of local wholesalers, but freight, duty and our fee are added. Use the import cost calculator with your own numbers, or send us the product for a quotation.

What happens if a supplier delivers poor quality goods?

This is why we strongly recommend our pre-shipment Quality Control (QC) service. We inspect the goods at the factory BEFORE they are shipped. If issues are found, we force the factory to fix them or remake the batch. Once goods leave China, returns are nearly impossible.

Have a Product in Mind?

Send the product, quantity and target price. We come back with suppliers and what it takes to order.
