What Products Are at Phase 3 of the Canton Fair in October 2026?

Phase 3 of the 140th Autumn Canton Fair will be held from October 31 to November 4, 2026, focusing primarily on consumer goods such as apparel, shoes, bags, textiles, office stationery, medical and health products, food, sports and leisure, personal care, pet supplies, and maternal and child products. For importers, wholesalers, brand owners, and channel buyers, Phase 3 is ideal for centrally sourcing consumer goods supply chains and OEM/ODM cooperation resources.

What Products Are Featured in Phase 3 of the Canton Fair?

According to the official product arrangements for the 140th Canton Fair, Phase 3 includes:

• Toys, maternal and child products, and children's wear
• Men's and women's wear, underwear, sportswear, and casual wear
• Fur, leather, and down products, apparel ornaments, and accessories
• Textile raw materials and fabrics, shoes, and bags
• Home textiles, carpets, and tapestries
• Office stationery
• Medicines, health products, and medical devices
• Food
• Sports and tourism leisure goods
• Personal care products and bathroom supplies
• Pet supplies
• Rural revitalization featured products

Therefore, compared to Phase 1 (machinery and equipment) and Phase 2 (building materials and furniture), Phase 3 is more oriented toward the end-consumer market and branded commodities.

Which Overseas Buyers Are Best Suited for Phase 3?

If your business involves importation, wholesaling, brand operation, chain retail, or regional distribution, Phase 3 offers high supplier screening value.

For example, apparel and bag buyers can simultaneously compare fabrics, styles, customization capabilities, and packaging. Home textile buyers can centrally explore supply chains for bedding, towels, and carpets, while medical and health procurement professionals can source medical devices, health products, and related suppliers.

Categories such as pet supplies, personal care, office stationery, and sports and leisure are also well-suited for long-term importing and channel procurement.

When attending the Canton Fair, buyers in these categories should look beyond simply asking 'Do you have this product?' and instead evaluate whether the supplier has stable export capabilities, product update capabilities, and long-term supply capacity.

What Should Brand and OEM Buyers Focus On Asking?

Many products in Phase 3 are suitable for OEM orODM production, so brand clients need to ask more specific questions.

For categories like apparel, bags, personal care, pet supplies, or stationery, buyers with their own brands should confirm in advance whether the supplier can handle logos, colors, packaging, and product customization, as well as MOQs, sampling times, and mass production lead times.

If fabrics, dimensions, functions, or packaging designs are involved, it is best to bring reference samples, pictures, or technical specifications.

The most common mistake at trade exhibitions is seeing a nice product and immediately asking, 'What is your lowest price?' However, for brand procurement, what truly determines subsequent cooperation is whether the product can be stably replicated, whether packaging can be executed, and whether the supplier understands the target market—not how pretty the single sample on the booth looks.

With So Many Suppliers in Phase 3, How to Avoid Walking All Day Without Results?

Phase 3 covers a wide variety of consumer goods categories. Without a clear procurement direction, it is easy to fall into the trap of 'looking at everything and discussing nothing clearly.'

Easysail China suggests that overseas buyers categorize their product requirements into three tiers before attending the exhibition:

• Core products that must find suppliers for
• Supplementary products to expand options
• Open categories for discovering new products on-site

For core products, prepare quantities, target prices, specifications, and market requirements in advance. Once at the booth, focus on confirming MOQs, quotation ranges, production lead times, customization methods, and factory locations.

For new products discovered on-site, simply record supplier and sample information without making immediate procurement decisions.

Can You Place Orders Directly If You See Suitable Products at the Exhibition?

Standard products and small-batch orders can be discussed in greater depth on-site. However, if brand customization, larger procurement volumes, or long-term cooperation are involved, it is recommended to complete the supplier screening process first.

The samples displayed at exhibitions are typically highlighted items chosen by suppliers and do not directly represent the stability of every future bulk shipment.

Buyers should narrow candidate suppliers down to a few finalists, then continue to confirm official quotations, samples, packaging, company backgrounds, and production capabilities after the exhibition.

If the order amount is high, you can further arrange virtual factory audits or on-site factory visits before deciding to pay a deposit.

How Can Easysail China Assist with Phase 3 Procurement?

If you are attending Phase 3 of the Canton Fair for actual procurement rather than just browsing, you can send your product list, pictures, estimated quantities, target prices, and target export countries to Easysail China in advance.

We can assist in organizing your procurement direction and key inquiry points before the exhibition, reducing time spent wandering the halls looking for random suppliers.

During the exhibition, Easysail China provides sourcing accompaniment and purchasing assistant services to help communicate product specifications, MOQs, pricing, OEM/ODM conditions, lead times, packaging, and factory conditions, while helping buyers log key suppliers.

If you interact with dozens of enterprises in a single day, we can help organize suppliers into categories such as 'priority follow-up, samples needed, and further verification required,' preventing you from returning home with a pile of business cards and no idea where to start.

After the exhibition, Easysail China can continue to assist with supplier background checks, sample follow-ups, and formal quotations. For suppliers whose production capabilities require further verification, we can also arrange factory inspections in Guangzhou, Foshan, or the Pearl River Delta region, while supporting subsequent cargo inspection, consolidation, container loading, and export coordination.

If you plan to attend the 140th Canton Fair Phase 3, send your procurement list to Easysail China in advance, and we can help turn a single trade show visit into a clear Chinese supplier screening and follow-up procurement plan.
