Canton Fair Phase 1 opens today, October 15, 2026 — and for wholesale buyers sourcing automotive emergency tools, portable power products, and diagnostic equipment, this is the single most concentrated sourcing event of the year. WANPU is exhibiting at Hall 9.2, Booth A21-22 and B03-04 through October 19, and this handbook is designed to help you get maximum value out of every minute at the fair: how to find us, what to evaluate when you arrive, how to book a private meeting for OEM and private-label discussions, and how to place your first wholesale order on-site or immediately after.

If you have already pre-booked a meeting, this guide will help you prepare. If you are attending the fair without a prior appointment, walk straight to Booth A21-22 where our English-speaking product specialists are available throughout fair hours — live jump-start demonstrations are running continuously, and walk-in OEM consultation slot requests are accepted subject to availability at B03-04. The 140th Canton Fair is WANPU's fourth consecutive Phase 1 appearance, and our booth team this year is prepared to handle technical sourcing conversations across jump starters, tire inflators, battery testers, and vacuum cleaners for buyers from every major market we serve.

Fair Dates, Hours, and Getting to Hall 9.2

The 140th Canton Fair, Phase 1 runs from October 15 to October 19, 2026, at the China Import and Export Fair Complex (Pazhou Exhibition Center) in Guangzhou. Daily exhibition hours are 09:00–18:00. WANPU's booths are located in Hall 9.2, Booth A21-22 and B03-04.

The fastest route from central Guangzhou is Metro Line 8 to Pazhou Station (Exit B). From the station, follow the pedestrian flow and directional signage toward Hall 9 — the walk from Exit B to the Hall 9 entrance is approximately 8–12 minutes. Hall 9.2 is the second floor of Hall 9; use the escalators or elevators immediately inside the main Hall 9 entrance. Booth A21-22 is located in the main product display aisle of Hall 9.2; once on the floor, follow the row signage for Booths A20–A25.

A valid Canton Fair buyer badge is required for entry. If you have not yet registered, visit cantonfair.org.cn — registration is free for qualified B2B buyers. Badges purchased or printed in advance avoid the registration queues at the venue entrance, which are busiest in the morning of Day 1 and Day 2.

What Is on Display at Booth A21-22

The product display zone at Booth A21-22 is organized into four categories. Understanding what is available before you arrive helps you plan your evaluation time efficiently.

Jump Starters (EP Series)

The centrepiece of the display is WANPU's EP2187 — the 2000A 4-in-1 jump starter, our highest-volume global SKU. The EP2187 combines a 2000A peak-current jump starter with an integrated 150PSI auto-stop air compressor, 65W Type-C fast charging, and a 2000-lumen LED work light in a single unit. It is diesel-compatible to 8.0L gasoline and large diesel engines, CE/FCC/RoHS certified, and carries full UN 38.3 transport documentation. For markets dominated by mid-to-large vehicles — the Gulf, Southeast Asia, Southern Africa, and LATAM — the EP2187 is consistently the volume SKU choice our buyers return to year after year.

Alongside the EP2187, the display includes:

Live jump-start demonstrations run continuously on a dedicated test battery station at Booth A21-22. Buyers are encouraged to bring their own target specifications and watch a live demonstration on the relevant model before committing to any price discussion.

Battery Testers and Diagnostic Tools

WANPU's battery tester range is one of the newer additions to our Canton Fair display and has generated strong B2B interest from workshop equipment distributors and automotive aftermarket chains. The lineup at Booth A21-22 includes:

Battery testers pair naturally with jump starters in the wholesale assortment: the tester diagnoses (SOH/CCA/alternator fault), the jump starter resolves (insufficient cranking charge). Distributors carrying both product families report higher average basket value and stronger repeat purchasing from workshop and garage customers. Buyers interested in evaluating the battery tester range at the booth should ask staff to run a live AGM versus WET comparison test — the most reliable way to verify genuine multi-chemistry implementation rather than a marketing label.

Air Compressors and Tire Inflators (T Series)

The T-series display at Booth A21-22 covers WANPU's full portable air compressor and tire inflator lineup, from ultra-compact pocket inflators to the 120W flagship. Key models on display include the T1215 120W dual-input flagship (CE/FCC, auto-shutoff, dual power input via 12V DC or 230V AC mains), the T1286 and T1478 150PSI + 8000mAh power bank combos (CE/FCC certified), and the T1161 ultra-slim pocket inflator with LED gauge. Auto-shutoff accuracy is the most important evaluation point for inflators: buyers should bring an independent calibrated pressure gauge and request a timed test at a specified PSI setting — target accuracy is ±1–2 PSI at retail grade. Slow inflation speed (over 8 minutes for a flat passenger car tyre) is a leading cause of negative reviews; the T1215 inflates a flat car tyre from 0 to 32 PSI in under 5 minutes.

Car Vacuum Cleaners

WANPU's vacuum cleaner range rounds out the product display with cordless and 12V plug-in models. The cordless units feature 120W–150W suction ratings, HEPA filter options, and wet/dry capable designs suited for workshop and professional use. The 12V plug-in models with 4.5m cords are well-positioned for Gulf and North Africa markets where dashboard-installed automotive accessories are standard. Vacuum cleaners can be added to mixed-SKU FCL containers alongside jump starters and inflators, reducing per-unit freight cost while expanding the distributor's product offering without a separate supplier relationship.

Booking a Private Meeting at Booth B03-04

Booth B03-04 is WANPU's dedicated Meeting and OEM Consultation Zone — a private space away from the main product display floor designed for focused, uninterrupted business discussions. Each meeting slot runs 30–45 minutes and is structured around your specific sourcing goals. Meeting availability is limited to 6 slots per fair day across the 5-day Phase 1 window (30 total slots). As of the October 15 fair open, a number of slots remain available — contact us immediately to secure a time.

How to Book

What the Meeting Covers

A typical B03-04 consultation session follows this agenda, adjustable to your priorities:

Best Days to Visit

Days 1–2 (October 15–16): Highest booth traffic. Best for first impressions, live demos, and collecting price sheets. Pre-booked meetings only at B03-04.
Days 3–4 (October 17–18): Lighter crowds. Best for uninterrupted technical evaluation, hands-on comparison testing, and walk-in B03-04 consultation requests.
Day 5 (October 19): Final day. Best for resolving last-minute spec questions, expedited sample arrangements, and Proforma Invoice signing before the close.

Buyer Preparation Checklist

First-time visitors to Canton Fair often underestimate how much preparation determines the quality of the sourcing outcomes. Buyers who arrive with a clear brief consistently leave with better pricing, more accurate lead time commitments, and a faster path to first shipment. Here is the preparation checklist we recommend before arriving at Booth A21-22:

Technical Preparation

Commercial Preparation

Evaluating Products at the Booth: A Technical Buyer's Walkthrough

Trade fair product evaluation is different from laboratory testing — you are working with limited time and shared demo stations. Here is how to get the maximum technical signal from your time at Booth A21-22:

Jump Starter Evaluation

The most meaningful live test for a jump starter is a real cold-crank on a discharged battery. At Booth A21-22, we maintain a dedicated test battery station — a discharged lead-acid battery on a stand — specifically for live demonstrations. Ask the booth staff to run the EP2187 or the EP2288 on the test battery in your presence. Observe: (1) the intelligent clamp LED indicator confirming connection before clamping voltage is applied — this is the reverse polarity protection and over-current pre-check in action; (2) the crank speed and voltage stabilization during the simulated start; (3) the auto-disconnect after the demonstration battery registers sufficient charge. Secondary checks: verify the Type-C PD output with a USB power meter if you carry one — the EP2187's 65W Type-C output is a specification that budget importers frequently misrepresent at lower actual wattage.

Tire Inflator Evaluation

Bring your independent calibrated gauge. Ask the booth team to set the T1215 or T1346 to 35 PSI (a standard passenger car tyre pressure), connect it to the demo tyre valve, and let it run to auto-shutoff. Measure the actual pressure immediately after shutoff with your gauge. Target: ±1 PSI accuracy. Request 3 consecutive tests to assess unit-to-unit consistency. Time the inflation from 0 to 32 PSI to assess motor speed — under 5 minutes is competitive for a 120W unit; over 8 minutes is a customer-experience red flag regardless of specification claims.

Battery Tester Evaluation

Ask the booth staff to run both an AGM and a standard WET flooded battery through the tester on the demo units available at the display. The tester should accept the battery type selection (AGM vs. WET vs. EFB), display SOH as a percentage, display CCA in the standard of your choice (EN for Europe, SAE for Americas), and display raw internal resistance in milliohms (mΩ). A battery tester that shows only "GOOD/WEAK/BAD" without numeric mΩ or CCA values is a consumer-grade unit, not a professional workshop instrument. For professional channel distribution — auto parts chains, workshop equipment suppliers, tyre fitment centres — the numeric display is the baseline specification requirement.

The OEM and Private-Label Process: From Canton Fair to Your Branded Product

For distributors considering private-label or OEM sourcing — placing products under their own brand rather than WANPU's — the Canton Fair B03-04 consultation is the starting point of a structured process. Understanding the timeline from fair to first branded shipment helps you set realistic customer launch commitments before leaving Guangzhou.

Outer Carton and Manual Customization (Most Common OEM Path)

The most cost-effective OEM entry point is custom outer carton printing and language-localized user manual. MOQ is 200–300 units per model. Timeline: artwork approval (3–5 business days after receipt of vector logo and copy) → production 30–40 days → sea freight (varies by destination: 10–14 days to Southeast Asia, 18–22 days to UAE, 22–28 days to South Africa, 28–35 days to Europe). For orders placed during Canton Fair Phase 1 (October 15–19), this path yields first branded delivery to EU ports in late November or early December — in time for the winter demand peak in Europe for jump starters.

Housing Color or Design Customization

More extensive OEM customization — custom housing color, logo embossing on the unit itself, or modified indicator LED color — requires a MOQ of 500+ units per model and extends production lead time to 45–60 days. This path is appropriate for distributors with established branded product lines seeking to differentiate on shelf appearance rather than just packaging. Discuss specifics at the B03-04 consultation where our OEM team has physical Pantone color swatches and molding reference samples available.

Certification Support for OEM Orders

One of the most common OEM friction points is re-certification after private-label customization. In most markets (EU/CE, FCC, RoHS), the CE Declaration of Conformity can be reissued under the importer/distributor's name rather than WANPU's, using WANPU's existing test reports as the technical basis — this is the "EU importer DoC" model. For market-specific certifications (KC, TISI, SASO, NRCS), the original WANPU test reports provide the technical evidence base for the market-specific application, and our compliance team can assist with documentation compilation. Our OEM services page details the full certification support program; bring specific market certification questions to the B03-04 meeting for case-by-case guidance.

Placing Sample and Wholesale Orders at the Fair

Wholesale orders can be committed at the booth or within 3–5 business days after the fair closes. The standard ordering process for buyers attending Canton Fair Phase 1 is:

Step 1: Product Selection and Price Confirmation at A21-22

Walk the display, run evaluations, ask for the price sheet per model and per quantity tier (50/100/200/500 units). Price sheets are provided on-site in USD FOB Shenzhen. For buyers comparing multiple suppliers on the fair floor, confirm you are comparing prices at equivalent certification documentation levels — a unit with full CE DoC + UN 38.3 + IEC 62133 documentation is not the same product as one with a CE logo and no supporting technical files, regardless of similar peak current claims.

Step 2: Proforma Invoice Signing

Once SKU selection and quantity are confirmed, we issue a Proforma Invoice on-site (printed or emailed). The PI specifies model, quantity, unit price, total value, payment terms, and estimated ship date. Signing the PI at the fair establishes priority in our production queue — orders placed during Phase 1 for 30-day lead stock products are scheduled for October or early November production.

Step 3: Deposit Payment

Standard deposit for stock-branded orders is 30% T/T within 7 business days of PI signing. OEM orders require 50% deposit. WANPU's bank details are on the PI; standard wire transfer from SWIFT-connected banks typically clears in 2–3 business days. Expedited same-day transfer options are available for buyers whose banks support CIPS (Cross-Border Interbank Payment System) or real-time SWIFT GPI.

Step 4: Sample Orders for First-Time Buyers

If you are sourcing from WANPU for the first time and want to validate quality before committing to a commercial volume order, sample orders of 5–10 units per model are available at near-wholesale unit pricing. Sample order costs are typically deductible from the deposit on your first commercial order. Samples ship via air courier (DHL/FedEx) within 7–10 business days of payment. For lithium battery sample shipments, IATA DGR Section II compliance is standard — our logistics team prepares all required air freight hazmat documentation.

Logistics Timeline: From Canton Fair Order to Your Warehouse

Understanding the logistics timeline from Canton Fair Phase 1 order to your warehouse is critical for inventory planning. Here are the realistic timelines by destination for stock-product orders placed during the fair (October 15–19):

Destination Port of Arrival Production Lead Time Sea Freight Transit Estimated Warehouse Arrival
Northern Europe (Germany, Netherlands, UK) Rotterdam / Felixstowe 7–14 days (stock models) 28–35 days Late November – early December
UAE (Dubai) Jebel Ali Port 7–14 days 18–22 days Mid–late November
Thailand Laem Chabang Port 7–14 days 10–14 days Early–mid November
South Africa Port of Durban 7–14 days 22–28 days Late November
Brazil Santos Port 7–14 days 32–38 days Early December
US West Coast Los Angeles / Long Beach 7–14 days 14–18 days Mid November

For all destinations, sea freight of lithium battery products requires IMDG Class 9 Dangerous Goods documentation — DGD (Dangerous Goods Declaration), MSDS, and UN 38.3 test reports. WANPU's logistics team prepares complete export documentation packages as standard; no additional preparation is required from the buyer for the sea freight DG compliance on our end. Buyers should confirm import-side customs requirements with their local clearing agent in advance, particularly for markets with mandatory pre-shipment certification (SASO, KC, TISI, NRCS) where customs release may be conditional on advance certification registration.
