Introduction
Chinese Export Commodities Fair, also
called Canton Fair, inaugurated in the Spring of 1957, is held twice
a year in Spring and Autumn. It is China's largest trade fair, a fair
of the highest level, and of the largest business turnover. Preserving
its traditions, the Fair is a comprehensive and multifunctional event
of international importance. Forty-seven Trading Delegations, being
composed of thousands of China's best foreign trade corporations (enterprises)
with good credibility and sound financial capabilities, take part
in the Fair. The Fair leans to export trade, though import business
is also done here. Apart from the above-mentioned, various types of
business activities such as economic and technical cooperation and
exchanges, commodity inspection, insurance, transportation, advertising,
consultation, etc. are also carried out in flexible ways.
To encourage the export of more high-graded
products or high value-added products, particularly machinery and
electronic products. Special Exhibition Sections have been set up
at the Guangzhou Trade Fair. This serves to place special emphasis
on these high technology products as well as to make them more prominent.
