The 139th Canton Fair commenced on April 15 in Guangzhou. How to get your buyer badge faster? This video will illustrate the buyer badge application process for you.
Before arriving in Guangzhou, overseas buyers can fill in the pre-registration information to obtain a receipt. With your pre-registration receipt, original valid ID (e.g., foreign passport, Mainland Travel Permits for Hong Kong and Macao Residents, or Mainland Travel Permits for Taiwan Residents), and a business card, you can collect your buyer ID badge at several convenient locations before reaching the main venue.
