Frequently asked questions

Everything Aussie businesses want to know about guided expo tours with Epic Sourcing.

How much does an ExpoGo guided tour cost?
Our guided sourcing tour rate is AUD $600 per day, which covers 9am to 5pm. This includes a dedicated bilingual Epic team member for the full day β€” covering translation, supplier navigation, negotiation support, and a post-expo recap. There are no hidden fees.
What does the guide actually do on the day?
Your Epic guide meets you at the expo venue, walks the floor with you all day, translates every conversation with suppliers in real time, helps you identify the right booths for your product category, supports you in price negotiation, and takes notes so you have a clear record of every supplier you spoke to. After the day, you receive a written recap.
Which expo phase or day should I attend?
It depends entirely on what you're sourcing. Canton Fair, for example, is split across three phases β€” electronics and machinery in Phase 1, homewares and furniture in Phase 2, and clothing and toys in Phase 3. When you book with us, we help you identify exactly which days are right for your product category so you don't waste a trip.
Can I book a guide for multiple days?
Absolutely. Many clients book two or three days to cover multiple phases or visit factory showrooms nearby. Each additional day is charged at the same rate of AUD $600 per day. We can plan a multi-day itinerary covering the expo plus any additional factory visits you want to add.
Do I need to sort my own visa and flights?
Yes β€” you arrange your own travel to China, Vietnam, or Hong Kong. Once you're there, we take care of everything on the ground. We can advise on which visa you'll need, recommend accommodation near the venue, and help you plan your overall trip itinerary so the expo fits into a productive sourcing trip.
What happens if I find a great supplier at the expo?
That's exactly where Epic Sourcing shines. After the expo, we can manage the entire follow-up β€” supplier verification, sample ordering, production oversight, quality control inspections, and freight to Australia. You found them at the expo; we handle everything from there. Our Out Source and Secret Source packages cover ongoing supply chain management.
Which expos does ExpoGo cover?
We currently run guided tours at six Asian trade shows: Canton Fair (China, April and October), Global Sources (Hong Kong, April and October), CIIE Shanghai (China, November), Vietbuild (Vietnam, June and December), Vietnam Manufacturing Expo (Vietnam, July), and HKTDC Hong Kong Fairs (Hong Kong, April and October). More expos may be added β€” contact us to ask about a specific event.
I've never been to a trade show before. Is ExpoGo suitable for first-timers?
ExpoGo is especially valuable for first-timers. Asian trade shows are massive, noisy, and overwhelming without a guide. Our team handles the navigation, language, and supplier vetting so you can focus on finding products β€” not figuring out the logistics. Many of our best client relationships started with a first-time Canton Fair visit.
