140th Canton Fair, Guangzhou 2026

The largest trade fair on earth, and the fastest route for Filipino importers to meet thousands of verified suppliers face to face. We handle everything from the visa to the hotel.

What Is the Canton Fair?

A Road to Friendship and a Bridge to Trade

Officially the China Import and Export Fair, it has run in Guangzhou since 1957 and is the largest trade exhibition on earth. Millions of products, tens of thousands of exhibitors, buyers from more than 200 countries.

For a Filipino importer, retailer or online seller it is the single most efficient trip you can take. Instead of negotiating blind through a website, you handle the samples, compare suppliers side by side, and negotiate terms in person.

The 2026 edition runs under the theme Global Opportunities, Shared Success across three separate phases, each covering different product categories.

Canton Fair FAQs

What first-time buyers ask us

Philippine passport holders do need a visa for mainland China, and yes, China visa assistance is included in the package. We give you the document checklist, review everything before submission, and handle the appointment.

Yes. Some buyers source across categories and attend two or all three phases. There is a gap of a few days between each phase, so we can extend your stay or arrange separate trips.

Yes, a good portion of our group are first-timers. The package includes a briefing on how importing into the Philippines works and how to pay suppliers safely, and your Filipino tour leader is there throughout.

The price moves with airfare and hotel rates for your chosen dates, so we quote it fresh rather than publishing a number that goes stale. Send an inquiry and we give you the current all-in price and payment schedule.
