In this article, we answer common questions that Canton Fair visitors ask about the trade show's phases, especially the second phase.

Do you need professional assistance in sourcing and procuring goods from China? Contact our team with details of the products you're looking for, and we'll handle the rest.

What time is the Canton Fair Phase 2?

Canton Fair Phase 2 Schedule:

Each phase of the Canton Fair, including the second phase, is held twice annually, spanning five days per session. You have 5 days to visit the fair and meet the same set of products and exhibitors.

While you’re free to attend the trade show on any of the five days, we generally advise clients to avoid the first and last days. These days tend to attract large crowds, which can lead to heavy traffic, extended wait times, and other inconveniences.

Canton Fair Phase 2 Dates:

The two dates for the Canton Fair 2nd phase are:

  • Canton Fair Phase 2 in Spring: April 23rd to April 27th.
  • Canton Fair Phase 2 in Autumn: October 23rd to October 27th.

With 136 Canton Fair events held to date, the date for the second phase’s physical exhibition in Guangzhou has remained consistent. You can begin planning for the upcoming show.

Get Support From Our Team at Canton Fair

After attending the Canton Fair and obtaining the contact of the manufacturers or suppliers of the product you need, we don't recommend paying for the purchase at the fair. This is to avoid issues like fraud, hidden costs from suppliers and so on.

Instead, give the product list and manufacturer contact information to a trusted procurement expert. The expert will inspect the factories, check for compliance issues, consolidate your products, handle customs clearance, and ship the products to your country.

At SARA, we have procurement experts with over 20+ years of experience supporting clients in procuring and sourcing products from China.

Contact us with the necessary product details after the fair and we will take over from there.

You can ask us any questions you may have today.
