About China Buyer Prep
Practical preparation guides, checklists, and tools for first-time China visitors, Canton Fair buyers, and small importers preparing to source products from China.
What China Buyer Prep helps with
The site is built for practical preparation before travel, trade fair visits, supplier conversations, and first sourcing decisions.
First China trip preparation
Payment apps, internet access, hotel location, Chinese addresses, transportation, and practical arrival preparation.
Canton Fair preparation
Canton Fair phases, buyer badge basics, supplier questions, hotel area, and fair planning for first-time overseas buyers.
China sourcing preparation
Supplier comparison, sample requests, quality control, MOQ and price, first order confirmation, trade terms, freight forwarder questions, and landed cost.
Why this site uses checklists
China preparation often fails because small but important details are missed before travel, before a fair visit, or before supplier payment. China Buyer Prep organizes those details into practical checklists and guide paths.
How our guides are designed
- Written for first-time users and small teams
- Focused on preparation steps, questions, and checklists
- Designed to help readers compare options before making decisions
- Uses cautious language when details may vary
- Encourages readers to confirm important details in writing
- Points readers to official sources or professional support when needed
