19th China Yiwu International Forest Products Fair
第19届中国义乌国际森林产品博览会（森博会）
Oct 30 – Nov 2, 2026 · Yiwu
This edition has ended.
A themed fair for wood and bamboo products: bamboo and wooden housewares, crafts, furniture and accessories, decoration materials, tea-related goods, flowers and horticulture, and forest foods. The organiser describes a typical scale of around 70,000 sqm and 2,000 booths. Handy for buyers of bamboo kitchenware, eco-friendly home goods and wooden gifts.
Buyer tips
Ask bamboo and wood suppliers for FSC or other chain-of-custody certificates and phytosanitary/fumigation documentation up front — they matter for EU, US and Australian imports.

Visiting Yiwu for this fair
Practical notes for buyers flying in: entry rules, how to reach the venue, where to stay, how to pay, and what to do with the days after the fair. Checked October 14, 2026.
- Entry and visas
- Yiwu Airport has been a designated 240-hour visa-free transit port since December 2024, and the permitted area covers all of Zhejiang province. Most buyers still fly into Shanghai or Hangzhou and take the train. The 30-day unilateral exemption applies if your passport qualifies; otherwise a business visa with a supplier or organiser letter.
- Getting to the venue
- Yiwu International Expo Center is about 15 minutes by taxi from Yiwu railway station. High-speed trains run from Shanghai Hongqiao (1.5 to 2 hours) and Hangzhou East (45 to 60 minutes) every half hour. From Yiwu Airport the venue is about 20 minutes by taxi.
- Where to stay
- Stay in the Futian area between the Expo Center and the International Trade City districts so you can split days between the fair and the market. Hotels fill in the Yiwu Fair week in October; agents often hold rooms for clients.
- Paying in Yiwu
- Booth prices are quoted in RMB per piece or per carton. Alipay or WeChat Pay with a foreign card works for samples and meals; order balances go by bank transfer, usually through your agent's or the supplier's company account, with receipts.
- After the fair
- Yiwu International Trade City (Districts 1 to 5) is open year-round next to the fair, so one more day covers the categories you missed. Yongkang hardware and Zhuji socks are 40 minutes by car, Haining leather 1.5 hours, Ningbo port about 2 hours for container loading checks.
