Plan your business visit to China
A useful visit starts before the flight. Share your requirements so that possible meetings can be discussed around your actual business priorities.
Before travel
Introduce your company, sourcing needs or project and intended travel dates.
Agree the agenda
Confirm meeting contacts, cities, languages and supplier availability. Factory visits require advance agreement.
Meet and evaluate
Discuss products, samples, production capability and project questions with the relevant parties.
Follow up in writing
Record specifications, quotation scope, responsibilities and the next decision points.
What to include in your first email
- Company name and website
- Country and preferred communication language
- Products, specifications or project description
- Estimated order quantity or production capacity
- Planned dates and cities in China
- Your main goal: sourcing, factory project or business partnership
- Any factories or technical subjects you wish to discuss
- Intended destination and relevant delivery requirements
Meeting language and arrangements
Please state your preferred meeting language. Interpreter availability, travel arrangements and any related costs must be confirmed separately; the website language does not imply an on-site interpreter service.
Agree the scope before you travel
Meeting availability, factory access, quotations, payment currency and delivery terms depend on the specific request. Visa, accommodation and transport arrangements are not included unless expressly agreed.
