About the fair

The China Electronics Fair West Show (CEF) is one of the industry's most comprehensive, largest and most authoritative events, fully backed by China's Ministry of Information Industry and Ministry of Commerce. On display: household appliances and electronics, computers and components, information and communication systems, automotive electronics, test, measurement and inspection equipment, and office and industrial electronic equipment. The programme features highly professional conferences, forums and seminars on surface-mount technology (SMT), RFID, consumer-electronics manufacturing, electronic test and measurement systems, and the outlook for Asia's electronics market. It is also of interest to specialists from applied fields such as automotive and defence.

Planning the trip

  • Register the badge online. Every major fair issues visitor badges in advance, and on-site registration means queueing on the busiest morning of the show. Registration usually opens one to two months out.
  • Check the visa position early. China's entry rules have changed repeatedly in recent years, including visa-free arrangements for a growing list of countries and transit exemptions. Confirm what applies to your passport for this month, and ask the organiser for an invitation letter if a business visa is needed — issuing one is routine.
  • Book accommodation before the dates firm up. A large fair fills its host city and rates move accordingly. Cancellable bookings made early cost less than confirmed ones made late.
  • Decide which halls before you arrive. The bigger Chinese fairs run to several halls across separate phases, and walking them without a plan burns a day. Shortlist the stands you need and treat anything else as a bonus.
  • Plan the follow-up, not just the visit. Business cards collected at a fair convert poorly once you fly home: quotes arrive in patchy English, samples stall, and the time difference eats a day per exchange. Deciding who handles that before you travel is what makes the trip pay for itself.

Going to Chengdu?

We are an export agency based in Shanghai. We can meet you at the fair, interpret, arrange factory visits around the dates rather than after them, and carry the follow-up once you have flown home — samples, quotes, inspection and shipment.
