Q&A
1.What are the visitor categories at the first China International Import Expo?
Reply: Visitors at the 1st China International Import Expo are divided into two categories: professional visitors, and social visitors with appointments.
Professional visitors include domestic and overseas buyers, as well as professionals from domestic and overseas government bureaus, public institutions and social organizations. Professional visitors are divided into two categories: trading delegation professionals and independent professionals, depending on whether they are in a trading delegation. Visitors at the 1st China International Import Expo are mainly members from the trading delegations of provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, cities specifically designated in the state plan and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (regional delegations), as well as central enterprise delegations.
Social visitors with appointments are the general social public with the intent to visit the 1st China International Import Expo, and they should have passed appointment verification.
2.How do professional visitors register for the Expo?
Reply: Professional visitors can register online for the Expo at the official site (www.ciie.org)- “Buyer” – “Registration”. After registration, you can look up relevant information at “Buyer” – “Visitor Sign Up”.
Trading delegations enjoy priority registration, and online registration for delegations has already opened. Professional visitors without a delegation or sub-delegation member identity at the moment can apply to join one of the delegations or sub-delegations to finish online registration.
Online registration for independent professional visitors without a delegation member identity will open in the future. For more updates, please follow the official site and the official WeChat account of the China International Import Expo.
All professional visitors must register online in advance, as the 1st China International Import Expo does not take on-site registration.
3.What matters should trading delegations pay attention to during registration?
Reply: Professional delegation visitors, including buyers, government officials, experts and scholars, and industrial organization professionals, need invitation codes to finish their registration at the CIIE official site.
The invitation codes are distributed according to the procedures of the China International Import Expo Bureau to the secretariats of trading delegations or sub-delegations, and then offered to professional visitors within the delegations by secretariats.
Invitation codes are exclusive for the specific trading delegations or sub-delegations. Invitation codes for delegations have a logical connection with those of their sub-delegations, and can be used by delegation secretariats for information lookup, the examining and management of professional visitors within the delegation, subsidiary sub-delegations and professional visitors within these sub-delegations. Sub-delegation secretariats can perform information lookup, examination and management of professional visitors within the sub-delegations using the invitation codes.
4.How do professional visitors apply to join a trading delegation?
Reply: Trading delegations of the 1st CIIE are mainly from provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, cities specifically designated in the state plan and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (regional delegations), as well as central enterprise delegations.
General professional visitors can apply to regional trading delegation secretariats for a delegation member identity according to the territoriality principle, acquire an invitation code and perform according to the delegation’s orders. Regional delegation secretariats are normally under the management of the provincial commercial departments.
Professional visitors with relationships with central enterprises can apply to central enterprise sub-delegation secretariats to join the trading sub-delegations according to their affiliations, acquire an invitation code and perform according to the sub-delegation’s orders. Central enterprise sub-delegation secretariats are normally under the management of the central enterprise headquarters.
We will post the contact information of relevant delegations as soon as possible.
5.Do professional visitors with an invitation need to register online?
Reply:Yes. The invitation code only refers to the association between the professional visitor and the delegation or sub-delegation; so the professional visitor should register online at the CIIE official website, provide relevant enterprise information and the personal information of the purchaser, and wait for the application to be verified before going to the Expo to visit and making purchases.
6.How do general public visitors register to visit the CIIE?
Reply: The 1st China International Import Expo only takes general public visitors’ visitations when they have made appointments and have passed verification. For more appointment details yet to be published, please follow the CIIE official website and the official WeChat account.
The 1st CIIE cannot accept visitations from general public visitors without verified appointments.
