You can. However, first time travellers often struggle with visa documents, incorrect travel dates, language barriers, and navigating a fair the size of a small city. Going during the wrong phase can also mean your target suppliers are not there. We help remove these problems before and during your trip.
We prepare your invitation letter and guide your full application using the same process behind our 100 plus registrations. We cannot control or guarantee a government decision, but we make sure your application is clean, complete, and consistent. These are the areas where many solo applications fail.
You receive Mandarin interpretation support during your trip. Your interpreter helps you communicate with suppliers, visit factories, understand important details, and speak with smaller factory booths where some of the strongest prices may be available.
We help introduce you to verified suppliers and provide shipping and logistics support after the fair. This includes guidance on supplier coordination, freight, cargo planning, consolidation, and the steps required to move your products from China.
Many of our clients are first time international travellers. Airport pickup, hotel accommodation, daily transport, program guidance, and group support are arranged for you. You travel as part of a guided group and receive support from our China based team throughout the program.

The importers who win are the ones already in the halls, shaking hands, cutting deals.
