CANTON FAIR SERVICES
Give each supplier conversation a purpose.
Canton Fair sourcing starts with product priorities and the questions that will change your buying decision. Meeting records should capture specifications, supplier details, sample conditions and follow-up actions. VG Shipping reviews the preparation and coordination support you need, then connects approved purchasing steps with supplier follow-up and shipping planning. Exhibition access, travel arrangements and specialist services are confirmed separately where required.

Plan the next action for each stage.
A fair introduction, a verified supplier and an approved order are different stages.
| Support task | When it helps | What to agree |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | You have buying goals but need a focused meeting brief. | Products, quantities, target market, sample questions and supplier criteria. |
| Meeting planning | You need to prioritise exhibitors and use visit time well. | Supplier list, categories, meeting objectives and available support. |
| Meeting records | Product information needs to be comparable after the visit. | Contact details, product references, quotations, sample terms and open points. |
| Post-fair follow-up | You have contacts and notes but need defined next steps. | Quotation requests, sample arrangements, verification questions and approvals. |
Meeting or communication support does not establish supplier reliability or guarantee commercial results. Confirm verification, samples and approval criteria before committing to an order.

07 / CANTON FAIR SERVICES FAQ
Questions about canton fair services.
Confirm the service scope for your product, buying stage and destination.
What should I prepare before requesting Canton Fair support?
Provide product priorities, planned quantities, target market, intended visit dates and any supplier list. Explain whether you need preparation, meeting records, communication assistance or post-fair follow-up.
Can you assist with supplier meetings at the fair?
Meeting and communication assistance is reviewed against the requested tasks, dates and availability. Confirm the responsibilities, deliverables and fees before relying on on-site support.
Does a Canton Fair meeting verify the supplier?
No. A meeting introduces a supplier and product. Company checks, capability evidence, samples and commercial approval remain separate steps in the buying decision.
Can post-fair orders connect with consolidation and shipping?
Request a connected review after supplier and product approvals. Order follow-up, collection, warehouse work and international freight need clear scopes and confirmed cargo information.
