CHINESEYIWU / BUYER RESOURCES
Yiwu market guide: plan your buying visit
Use the district map, product guides and sourcing checklists to plan where to go, what to ask and what to approve before ordering.
DISCUSS YOUR REQUIREMENTS
Locate the products before planning the trip
Use the market district map to identify areas to research. The market operator’s official Chinagoods platform also provides market and product-category information. Confirm individual booth locations and availability before travelling.
Choose how you will buy
A visit can help compare samples and meet suppliers, while a remote enquiry starts with product references and specifications. In either case, record who supplies the goods, what the quote includes and what must be approved before ordering.
Plan visits and fair meetings separately
A market visit and a trade fair are different appointments. Confirm the opening arrangements for the dates you plan to visit and check fair information with the organiser. Avoid booking a trip on the assumption that every supplier or market area is available every day.
Prepare your travel arrangements and check official exhibition information.
From sample comparison to dispatch
Keep a record of supplier contacts, quoted specifications, sample references and quantities. Before paying for production, agree inspection scope and the process for discrepancies. Prepare packed-cargo details before requesting freight quotes.
Discuss Yiwu purchasing support, inspection or shipping for the order you are planning.
