The China International Furniture Fair (CIFF Guangzhou) says it is ready to welcome back international visitors again following China’s lifting of all Covid-19 entry restrictions.

The 51st edition of the exhibition, which takes in Guangzhou on March 18-21, 2023, is a leading furniture trade show in the world offering a convenient platform for furniture suppliers and buyers. 

CIFF covers a wide range of topics, such as home furniture, home decor & textile, outdoor & leisure furniture, office furniture, furniture accessories and more. 

Anyone arriving in China from abroad will now be permitted entry without undergoing quarantine, following the recent updates to the country's COVID- 19 policy.

Inbound passengers need only show a negative result from a molecular test carried out within 48 hours of departure and fill out customs health declaration forms, rather than applying for health codes at Chinese embassies or consulates abroad.

“The molecular swab requirement upon arrival has also been lifted and international passengers will not be subject to any restrictions during their stay in China, provided that their health declarations are normal and they show no symptoms of the disease during the routine health check at the airport,” CIFF said.

The 51st CIFF Guangzhou 2023 will take place in two phases, reorganised by product sector in the new exhibition concept and layout.

The first phase, is dedicated to the living space. The Home Furniture sector will showcase the latest home furnishing products from leading Chinese and international companies, while the Area B of the Canton fair Complex will be dedicated to companies offering OEM/ODM services and one-stop solutions. 

Homedecor & Hometextile will focus on new trends in interior decoration; Outdoor Furniture, Sunshade and Leisure will focus on the presentation of outdoor furniture such as tables, chairs, and awnings for the garden; Office and Commercial Space will look at workplace systems and seating, trends and solutions in the smart office, as well as public, school, and commercial environments, and furniture for healthcare and for meeting the needs of older people.
