Good questions make
better shipping plans.

The amount may change if packed measurements, route, service scope or timing change, or if the rate expires. Check any variable surcharges and obtain an updated written quotation before approving a revised booking.

Check the written inclusions and exclusions. Ask how duties, taxes, customs examinations, storage, unloading and restricted-access delivery will be handled. The words door-to-door alone do not define every possible charge.

Yes. Share the best estimates available and clearly identify any projections. Ask how the quotation will be reviewed when final package count, dimensions and gross weight are available.

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.

No. A meeting introduces a supplier and product. Company checks, capability evidence, samples and commercial approval remain separate steps in the buying decision.

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.

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.

Share each supplier location, cargo ready date, package count, packed measurements and destination. Review warehouse receiving, storage, labelling and consolidation before agreeing the shipping plan. Combining orders does not automatically reduce the total cost or meet every delivery deadline.

Shortlist exhibitors and prepare product questions, quantities and sample requirements. Keep a meeting record with supplier details, quotations and the next action. Check current registration, invitations, badges and attendance arrangements on the official Canton Fair buyer platform.

An approved sample records a reference for agreed product features. Confirm the production specification, packaging, inspection criteria and how changes are approved in writing. Sample approval alone does not verify every unit in a later production batch.
