Six ways we help international buyers get more out of the Canton Fair — from preparation weeks before you fly, to follow-up months after you go home.
Pre-Fair Supplier Research
We review your sourcing requirements, identify the relevant product categories and exhibition areas, and prepare a more efficient fair plan before you arrive in Guangzhou.
Canton Fair Buyer Assistance
Chinese-English business communication on the fair floor, exhibition navigation, product discussions, supplier meetings and structured information collection throughout the day.
Supplier Screening
We help you ask the right questions about manufacturing capability, factory versus trading-company status, export experience, MOQ, lead time and certifications — so you can compare suppliers on facts. We do not guarantee supplier authenticity or product quality.
Price & MOQ Negotiation
Assistance with discussions involving MOQ, sample costs, unit pricing, packaging, customization, lead times and payment terms — with clear notes so you can compare offers objectively.
Factory Visits
Support for factory visits around Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Shenzhen, Zhongshan and other Guangdong sourcing regions when practical, with appointments, interpretation and structured visit notes.
Post-Fair Sourcing
After the fair we continue helping with samples, supplier communication, negotiation, QC coordination, consolidation and shipping through ChinaBuyPro's normal sourcing services — the work doesn't end when you fly home.
Interpreter vs Sourcing Partner
Do You Need an Interpreter — or a Sourcing Partner?
Both have their place. Here is an honest comparison of what each typically covers.

After The Fair
Your Sourcing Doesn't End When the Canton Fair Ends
Found the right supplier? ChinaBuyPro can continue working as your China sourcing partner after you return home — helping with samples, supplier communication, negotiation, quality-control coordination, consolidation and shipping.
A Canton Fair sourcing agent helps you before, during and after the fair: reviewing your sourcing requirements, suggesting which phases and exhibition areas to visit, interpreting Chinese-English business conversations on the fair floor, asking suppliers about MOQ, pricing, lead times and certifications, comparing suppliers, assisting with factory visits, and continuing supplier communication, samples, QC coordination and shipping after you return home.
Many larger exhibitors have English-speaking staff, but smaller factories often do not. An interpreter helps with day-to-day communication. If your goal is to actually source products, compare suppliers and negotiate terms, a buyer-side sourcing partner covers interpretation plus supplier screening, negotiation and post-fair follow-up.
An interpreter focuses on language translation during meetings. A sourcing agent additionally helps you prepare before the fair, ask the right supplier-qualification questions, negotiate MOQ and pricing, compare suppliers objectively, arrange and observe factory visits, and keep sourcing moving after the fair ends. If you only need translation, an interpreter may be enough; if you are building supplier relationships, a sourcing partner usually provides more value.
Our 2026 Autumn Canton Fair launch pricing starts at $99 for a half-day (up to 4 hours), $149/day for a Canton Fair Buyer Assistant (8 hours), $249/day for the full Sourcing Partner plan with supplier screening and negotiation, $349/day for Factory Visit & Sourcing, and $649 for a 3-day sourcing package. A 30% booking deposit reserves your dates. Transportation, accommodation and exhibition pass fees are not included.
Yes. Tell us what products you are looking for and we'll recommend the matching phase. The 140th Autumn Canton Fair runs Phase 1 on October 15–19 (electronics, machinery, hardware, tools, vehicles, new energy), Phase 2 on October 23–27 (home products, furniture, ceramics, gifts, building materials) and Phase 3 on October 31 – November 4 (clothing, textiles, shoes, bags, toys, pet products, personal care).
Yes. The Sourcing Partner plan includes assistance with MOQ, sample costs, unit pricing, packaging, customization, lead times and payment-term discussions. We help you ask the right questions and compare terms across suppliers. Final commercial decisions always remain with you, and we cannot guarantee any specific price or supplier outcome.
Yes, when practical. We can help coordinate supplier appointments and accompany you on factory visits around Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Shenzhen, Zhongshan and other Guangdong sourcing regions, with business interpretation, capability observation, photos and a structured Factory Visit Summary. Intercity transportation and related expenses are quoted separately.
We help you ask suppliers the right qualification questions — manufacturing capability, factory versus trading-company status, export experience, certifications, MOQ and lead times — and help compare their answers. We do not guarantee supplier authenticity or product quality; no on-site partner can honestly guarantee that. Independent third-party inspection services can be arranged separately for orders.
Yes — this is where most of the real sourcing work happens. After the fair we can continue as your China sourcing partner: following up with suppliers, arranging samples, negotiating, coordinating quality control, consolidating goods and arranging international shipping through our standard sourcing services. See also our shipping solutions and China trade shows guide.
Yes, we recommend booking as early as possible. The Autumn Canton Fair is our busiest period and service dates are limited. A 30% booking deposit reserves your dates; the balance is confirmed before the service starts. Final scope and pricing are confirmed in writing before payment.
The daily rate covers our personnel's service time. It does not include transportation outside central Guangzhou, intercity transportation, accommodation, exhibition credentials or buyer pass fees, or other third-party expenses. Overtime beyond the standard working day, special technical interpretation, additional staff or travel outside Guangzhou may require a custom quotation. All scope and pricing is confirmed before payment.
No. We are an independent, buyer-side agent and we do not take hidden commissions or kickbacks from manufacturers, so we are free to compare multiple factories and recommend the one that genuinely fits your quality, price and MOQ. You pay only our transparent, agreed service fee. If any success-based arrangement ever applies, it will be disclosed and agreed in writing beforehand.
Yes. If you can't come to Guangzhou, we can walk the relevant phase for you, visit shortlisted booths, photograph products, ask verification and technical questions, and send a structured report with photos, pricing notes and factory-verification status within about 48 hours. We can then arrange factory visits and keep sourcing for you after the fair.
