Route logic

Fair discovery first, factory reality second

Use Canton Fair Phase 2 for a broad category scan, then decide whether the brief belongs in Foshan furniture, sanitary, building-material, or decorative-product factory routes after the fair evidence is comparable.

On-site confirmation

What fair booths and remote research cannot prove

Whether the Canton Fair exhibitor is the factory, brand owner, exporter, or trading intermediary

Real category fit across building materials, sanitary, furniture, and decorative products

Specification, sample, packaging, and document gaps before any Australian project claim is made

Whether Foshan or nearby supplier visits will add evidence or only duplicate booth claims

Post-trip quote, sample, compliance-review, and delivery follow-up responsibilities

Buyer fit

Who should register

Australian buyers who need a broad building, furniture, sanitary, or home-fit-out scan
Retailers or project buyers still deciding which sub-category and factory route matters most
Teams that want Canton Fair evidence before committing to a specialist route

Not for

Buyers expecting Canton Fair alone to validate factory capability, compliance, or project suitability
Teams without product specifications, acceptance criteria, or budget clarity for high-liability materials
