🐾 Pet Fair Asia
Shanghai · Aug 21–26, 2026
Australia to China.
Without going in blind.
We don't just take you to the show. We build what comes after.
We help Australian pet industry businesses source smarter in China — with guided supplier meetings, negotiation support, Mandarin translation, quality-control pathways and post-trip procurement support. Plus, delegates get access to our October Virtual Canton Fair, China-based QC inspection team and Australian warehousing options.

The most important thing to understand
Most translators work
for the factory.
We work for you.
for the factory.
We work for you.
When you walk into a supplier meeting in China without your own representation, the factory's team speaks Mandarin, knows the numbers, and controls the room. We level that playing field. We negotiate on your behalf, push for your price, and walk away from bad deals — because the factory doesn't pay us. You do.

Why most people don't go alone
Sourcing from China is hard — unless you know exactly what you're doing.
⚠
You don't know which suppliers are legitimate and which ones will disappear after payment
⚠
You can't negotiate without Mandarin — and even with a translator, you need to know what to ask
⚠
Trade show floors are overwhelming — 2,600 exhibitors across 320,000 sqm with no plan
⚠
You don't know what MOQs, lead times or payment terms to expect or push back on
⚠
After you fly home, you're on your own with no QC, no inspection, and no ongoing support
Tangible outcomes
What you should walk away with.
Not just a trip. A business asset.
✦
A shortlist of 4–5 vetted, suitable suppliers for your product category
Pre-researched and pre-booked before you arrive
✦
Documented pricing, MOQs, and lead times from every supplier you meet
In writing, in Australian context
✦
Product samples arranged and shipped to Australia
So you can evaluate before committing to an order
✦
Negotiation notes and red flags from every conversation
Including suppliers to avoid and why
✦
A post-mission sourcing report
Your 12-month sourcing direction, tailored to your business
✦
Ongoing access to QC, shipping, warehousing and dropshipping support
So the chain keeps running after you land back in Sydney

6 Days · 5 Nights
The itinerary.

Common questions
FAQ.
Do I need importing experience?
No. The mission is designed to work for first-time importers as well as experienced buyers. We guide you through every step — from supplier selection to negotiation to what happens after you land back in Australia.
Can you help if I only want small quantities?
Yes. Through our China connections, we negotiate at local market prices and push for lower MOQs — giving Australian buyers access to terms that aren't available to anyone walking in cold off the street.
What if I don't speak Chinese?
Our team handles all Mandarin interpretation throughout the show, factory visits, and supplier negotiations. You focus on the business decisions — we handle the language.
Do I need a visa?
Australian passport holders currently qualify for visa-free entry to China for stays up to 15 days. We'll confirm the current requirements and assist with documentation closer to departure.
Can I accumulate Qantas Points on the flights?
Yes. Flights can be booked through your existing Qantas account to accumulate Qantas Points. We can assist with the booking process to make sure your points are credited correctly.
Can you help me after I return to Australia?
Absolutely — this is one of our strongest offerings. Through our sister companies we provide independent QC inspections, order management, Australian warehousing, dropshipping, and ongoing supplier relationship management.
Is this suitable for exotic animal vets, aquarium businesses and bird retailers?
Yes. Pet Fair Asia covers the full spectrum — including small animals, birds, reptiles, aquatics and specialist veterinary supplies. We also have access to specialist animal hospitals in China, giving delegates in the exotic and clinical space unique sourcing opportunities.
What is not included?
Travel insurance (mandatory), visa fees if applicable, personal spending, meals outside group dinners, airport transfers from your home city to Sydney, and any product purchases or freight costs.
Can I bring my business partner?
Yes — subject to available places. Each person requires a separate booking. With only 8 delegate spots total, we recommend applying early if you want two seats.
Is the application binding?
No. Submitting an expression of interest is non-binding. A formal agreement and payment schedule follows once we confirm the group composition and your place is secured.
