How to prepare for Canton Fair as a buyer？

As a foreign buyer of luggage and bags, there are several things you need to prepare before participating in the Canton Fair in China:

1.Visa: You need to apply for a visa to enter China. You can apply for a business visa (M visa) at the Chinese embassy or consulate in your country.

2.Travel arrangements: You need to make travel arrangements including booking flights, hotel accommodations, and arranging transportation to and from the exhibition center.

3.Research: Do some research on the products you are interested in purchasing and the suppliers who will be exhibiting at the fair. This will help you to make informed decisions and negotiate better deals.

4.Business cards: Bring plenty of business cards to exchange with potential suppliers. Make sure they include your name, title, company name, and contact information.   

5.Budget: Set a budget for your purchases and stick to it. Be prepared to negotiate prices with suppliers. 

6.Language support: If you do not speak Chinese, consider hiring an interpreter to help you communicate with suppliers. 

7.Comfortable shoes: The exhibition center is large and you will be doing a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes.

By preparing these things in advance, you will be able to make the most out of your visit to the Canton Fair and have a successful sourcing trip.
