About the fair
The Shenzhen International Furniture Exhibition (SIFE), founded in 1996, has become a large-scale, successful, export-oriented event of China's furniture industry with a firm global standing (its high status confirmed by the UFI quality mark). Held annually since 2004, it presents a wide selection of quality modern and classic furniture in wood, metal and other materials, world-class branded furniture, components, fittings, accessories and materials for furniture production at the best prices, and the latest trends in furniture design. The event features interactive best-design competitions, fashionable-interior displays, a furniture internet forum and an e-furniture trading hall.

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 Shenzhen?
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.
