Frequently asked questions

Who is this trip for?

Founders, importers, brand owners, and ecommerce operators who want real factory and supplier access at Canton Fair, with a trusted group instead of navigating Guangzhou alone.

Do I still need my own Canton Fair badge?

Package options include badge assistance. You will still complete buyer registration steps; we help you get through the process correctly.

What about China visas?

Where needed, packages include invitation-letter support for a business visa. Start early, because visa timing varies by country.

Can I combine this with Cross Border Summit?

Yes. Autumn Canton Fair runs through early November; Cross Border Summit 2026 is Nov 4–5 in Chiang Mai. Many people fly to Thailand on Nov 2 or 3 after the fair.

Is there a plus-one option?

Yes on the all-inclusive package. Add a plus-one fee in checkout if you are bringing another person.

What if I only need remote help?

The remote setup package covers registration, visa guidance, strategy, and logistics without the hotel stay.
