Sourcing in Yiwu is in fact a "working day", not a sightseeing visit. Buyers from the Middle East, South America and Africa come here to compare suppliers, look at goods in person and settle specifications before ordering.
As it happens, Yiwu Airport is one of the ports open under the 240-hour visa-free transit.
Three Things to Do Before You Arrive
One, send us your dates
Tell us the dates you will be in Yiwu and the categories or factories you want to see.
Two, send your list
A product list with photos or specifications, the target quantity, and which market the goods are sold into.
Three, tell us which site you want to see
Depending on what you want to see, we tell you whether to come to the office or the warehouse.
Visits are by appointment, and nothing can be arranged without one booked in advance. So we reply before your trip to confirm, and then tell you which address to come to.
Six Things That Can Be Arranged on the Day
Sourcing and matching
You describe your requirements, and we match them against partner factories in China by material, process and price.
Buying in the Yiwu market and through the partner factory network
We are in Yiwu, and we source both from the local market and from a nationwide network of partner factories.
Self-inspection on request
At your request, our team checks samples and production batches and provides self-check records in photo or video form before shipment. If you need a formal inspection, you can appoint your own inspection company.
Preparing export documents FOB Yiwu
We prepare the documents FOB Yiwu and coordinate with the freight forwarder you appoint. Booking, issuing transport documents, collecting freight, customs declaration and the consolidation warehouse are handled by the forwarder you appoint; ask that forwarder about freight rates and transit times.
Visiting the partner factory handling your order
You can visit the partner factory that takes your order, and you can also bring your own inspection company along.
Checking certificates
Certificates are issued by the partner factory, and we check those documents against your target market's requirements (CE, SABER, NOM and the like); certificates and test reports can be provided on request.
Two Paid Add-ons
Both can be arranged on request, and both are charged:
- Hotel booking on your behalf;
- Interpreting and accompaniment (languages arranged according to your needs).
Both are paid services; ask us about them when you book your visit.
Entering China: Check Official Sources Yourself
Depending on your nationality, you may now be able to enter visa-free for business, or use the 240-hour visa-free transit. Conditions change, so check the official sources yourself before travelling. The visa information in this article was checked on 2026-09-16.
Background: China's unilateral visa-free policy allows holders of ordinary passports to enter visa-free for business, tourism, visiting relatives, exchange visits or transit, for a stay of no more than 30 days; those who do not qualify still need a visa before entry; the stay counts from 00:00 on the day after entry.
Valid until 2026-12-31.
These 11 countries are not all on the same footing: 9 are covered by unilateral visa-free entry (the four Gulf states: Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain; and five South American countries: Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay);
the UAE and Qatar are covered by mutual visa exemption agreements.
