+ - Tips for the Entry Badge Click to collapse

If you have got a Buyer’s IC Card, please be informed that: The Entry Badge (IC Card) is valid for the upcoming sessions of the Fair, which surely saves your time with easy access. If you forget to bring the Card or lost it, re-application will cost you 200RMB/card as a service fee.

Buyer Card is the only official admission to the Fair and is available at China Import and Export Fair Complex. However, to save your time and make the registration more manageable, we now set 31 Overseas Buyers’ Registration Office at appointed hotels. And we strongly suggest you get the Canton Fair entry badge in these 31 hotels, considering the registration peak hour that occurs at 9:30 am to noon at China Import and Export Fair Complex. It is the best way for you also, for the buyers who stay near these areas, please register in hotels too.

The Buyer card(badge) is the only official admission to Canton Fair. It is valid for years of multiple sessions of the fair.
