Finding Wholesale Suppliers at the Canton Fair

Updated 12 July 2026 · 6 min read · By Nexera Sourcing and Exim

Quick answer: To find wholesale suppliers at the Canton Fair, choose the phase that matches your product, shortlist booths in advance, compare at least three suppliers per product, request samples, and confirm minimum order quantities and terms in writing.

What this guide covers

Start with the right phase

Products do not repeat across the three phases, so pick the phase that covers your category before you plan booths.

Compare before you commit

Verify and start small

Confirm the supplier is a real manufacturer, place a trial order first, and keep records of every quote and specification.
