Dear Sir / Madam：

You are cordially invited to attend the 8th China International Consumer Goods Fair (CICGF 2009), to be held in Ningbo, China, from June 8 to 12, 2009.

CICGF, co-sponsored by Ministry of Commerce, PRC and Zhejiang Provincial People’s Government, is the largest professional consumer goods fair in China, which ranks only second to Canton Fair among all the exhibitions sponsored by Ministry of Commerce. It is held at Ningbo International Conference & Exhibition Center in June every year.

In the past seven successful sessions, several thousand enterprises from more than 30 Chinese provinces and municipalities as well as from abroad exhibited, attracting thousands of buyers from all over the world.

With an exhibiting space of 90,000 sqm, 4000 booths will be set up at CICGF 2009, which will be divided into the following 8 exhibiting sections: household textiles and garments; home appliances and electronics; furniture and office supply; sports, travel and recreation products; articles of daily use; arts-crafts and gifts；foodstuffs; overseas exhibits and trade service. Well-known enterprises, famous brands and new products from home and abroad will attend. It will be an ideal occasion for business people from all over the world to exchange information and to promote business.

Free shuttle buses will be available for overseas visitors between Shanghai Pudong International Airport and Ningbo, prior to and during the fair.

There are three advantages for the fair:
--Manufacturing base. Zhejiang Province, of which Ningbo is a part, is China’s as well as the world’s largest consumer goods manufacturing base. 70% of the exhibiting enterprises are within hours’ or even minutes’ driving distance, making it much easier for buyers to explore.

--Excellent natural deep-water port, with cargo throughput ranking second both in China and in the world, and with 190 container routes to over 600 ports. All the world’s 20 top container shipping companies have offices in Ningbo.

--Good exhibition infrastructure and excellent service. The exhibition center now has 120,000 sqm expo space, and the future plan is to reach the goal of 200,000 sqm for temporary and 800,000 sqm for permanent. Easy access to exhibitors online, free on-site interpreter service and internet service, Muslim and Christian prayer spaces, reasonable hotel charges, free shuttle bus service, etc., all make the fair such a nice one to attend.

You are welcome to attend the fair, either as buyers or as exhibitors, and your early reply is appreciated. For any inquiry, please do feel free to contact us.

Please log onto for more detailed info.
