Sourcing guide

How to buy wholesale from Guangzhou — the full playbook

Finding markets is the easy part. This covers the parts other sites skip: negotiating MOQs, paying safely, inspecting quality, and consolidating shipping.

  1. Map the right market to your product

    Category, price tier and MOQ — match before you travel.

  2. Negotiate MOQs without overpaying

    Understand the price-MOQ curve before you counter-offer.

  3. Pay safely: T/T, escrow & what to avoid

    Company accounts only — never personal accounts, never "agent" wallets.

  4. Quality control before money moves

    Samples, in-line checks and pre-shipment inspection, sequenced correctly.

  5. Consolidate & ship: LCL, air, express

    When to consolidate, when to fly, and how to read a freight quote.

⚠ Our verification standard — and the five rules that save buyers the most money

  • Four checks before the "Verified" mark: business licence & export rights · live video walk-through of real production lines · sample tested at our cost · on-the-ground visit for large orders.
  • Never pay to a personal account. Company payments only, matching the business licence.
  • Sample before bulk — no exceptions, no matter how good the price sounds.
  • Beware WeChat-only "agents" who refuse video calls or factory visits.
  • Prices far below market are bait. If a deal looks 40% cheaper, something is wrong.
  • We never take commissions from sellers — our only incentive is your repeat business.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask us first

What is China Canton Market?

China Canton Market is an independent online guide to Guangzhou's wholesale markets and the Guangzhou International Commercial Port. We publish market directories, sourced price benchmarks, free sourcing tools — and we connect overseas buyers only with suppliers who pass our four-step verification.

Is China Canton Market affiliated with the Canton Fair or the Commercial Port?

No. We are a privately run, third-party platform with no affiliation to the Canton Fair organizers, the Guangzhou International Commercial Port Group, or any market operator.

What time do Guangzhou wholesale markets open?

Most markets open between 8:00 and 10:00 AM and close between 5:00 and 7:00 PM, but hours vary by market and product category. Each market guide lists verified opening hours.

What is the MOQ at Guangzhou wholesale markets?

Minimum order quantities vary widely: apparel markets often start at 5–10 pieces per style, while electronics or custom products may require 100–500 units. Our free MOQ comparator helps you compare quotes on true per-unit cost.

How do I calculate the landed cost of importing from Guangzhou?

Landed cost = unit price + international freight + import duties + insurance + local delivery, divided by units. Our free landed cost calculator does this math for you — enter your numbers and get a true per-unit cost before you order.

How are suppliers verified?

Four checks, in order: (1) business licence, export rights and certifications verified against official registries; (2) a live, unedited video walk-through of real production; (3) samples ordered at our own cost and tested against claims; (4) an on-the-ground visit for large orders. We publish the standard openly so you can hold us to it.
