How to Get a Buyer Badge for the Canton Fair

Updated 11 July 2026 · 5 min read · By Nexera Sourcing and Exim

Quick answer: To get a Canton Fair buyer badge, register online through the official buyer portal before you travel or register on site at the Pazhou complex with your passport and company details. The badge is free to obtain and works across all three phases.

What the buyer badge is

The buyer badge is your entry pass to the Canton Fair. Without it you cannot enter the halls. It is separate from your visa, and you need both.

Register online before you travel

  1. Go to the official Canton Fair buyer registration portal.
  2. Create an account and enter your passport and company details.
  3. Upload a photo and submit. Save your confirmation and badge number.

Register on site at Pazhou

If you did not register online, you can register at the badge counters at the Pazhou complex. Bring your passport, a business card and company proof. Expect queues, especially on the first day of a phase, so arrive early.

Save time with delegation support

We complete buyer badge registration for every delegate as part of the package, so you skip the queues and walk straight in.
