    Packing: March 2027

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    1

    Check passport validity and China visa requirements — Passport should have 6+ months validity. Most nationalities need a Chinese visa for Shanghai; apply through the Chinese visa application centre 4-6 weeks before travel for SUE 2027 (22-24 March 2027).

    2

    Book flights to Shanghai Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA) — Target arrival 21 March 2027, the day before opening. Hongqiao is closer to the Expo area; Pudong has more long-haul options.

    3

    Reserve a hotel near SWEECC in the Shanghai Expo / Pudong area — Stay 21-24 March 2027. March is a busy business travel month in Shanghai, so book early to protect rates and stay within a short taxi ride of the venue.

    4

    Complete visitor pre-registration on underwearshanghai.com — Save the confirmation and QR code to your phone plus a printed copy. Badges are collected at the SWEECC registration desk on arrival.

    5

    Download the hall plan and exhibitor list and shortlist suppliers — Build a route by hall for lingerie, shapewear, seamless knit, lace, fabric and trim suppliers so you cover priority stands first.

    6

    Request B2B matchmaking meetings with target exhibitors — Pre-scheduled 20-30 minute slots through the organiser are more reliable than walking up to busy stands during peak hours.

    7

    Register for seminars and trend sessions in the show programme — Sessions on fabrics, sizing, fit and intimates sourcing trends fill up; reserve places when the programme is published.

    8

    Plan local transport from airport to venue — Taxi PVG to SWEECC is roughly CNY 180-250 and takes 50-70 minutes in traffic; Hongqiao is roughly CNY 80-120 and 35-50 minutes. Metro is cheapest but slower with luggage.

    9

    Sort payments: CNY cash, UnionPay, Alipay or WeChat Pay — Set up a mobile payment app before departure and carry some cash for small sample purchases and taxis.

    10

    Prepare business cards and a written sourcing brief — Include target fabrics, sizes, colours, MOQ expectations and delivery windows so Chinese suppliers can quote quickly on stand.

    11

    Pack for a Shanghai March — Layers, light rain jacket and comfortable shoes. March in Shanghai is cool and changeable with frequent rain showers, and halls involve long walking distances.

    12

    Day 1 arrival: badge collection, orientation and hall walk-through — Collect your badge at SWEECC, confirm meeting times and walk your target halls before scheduled appointments so you can adjust your plan.

    What is your primary role?

    Decision matrix

    Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

    visit

    Assess how this option fits your objectives.

    Best for

    Independent lingerie retailers, e-commerce buyers and sourcing managers who want to meet Chinese OEM and ODM factories, compare fabrics and place sample or trial orders without committing to a stand.

    Min. budget

    $350.00

    Timeline

    4-6 weeks for visa, flights and an Expo-area hotel

    Risks

    March is a busy business travel month in Shanghai and Expo-area hotel rates rise closer to the show dates

    Chinese visa processing takes several weeks for most nationalities, so apply early

    SWEECC hall walking distances are long, so pre-book meetings and plan a hall route

    exhibit

    Assess how this option fits your objectives.

    Best for

    Underwear, swimwear, seamless knit and fabric manufacturers plus lace, trim, machinery and packaging suppliers targeting Chinese and international brands, private-label programmes and sourcing offices.

    Min. budget

    $2,200.00

    Timeline

    3-4 months for stand booking, design approval, freight and customs

    Risks

    Hall position and stand location are allocated by the organiser, so early booking improves placement

    Sample garments and mannequins require temporary import and customs clearance into China

    Build-up slots are fixed and late design approvals can delay installation

    skip

    Assess how this option fits your objectives.

    Best for

    Buyers and suppliers with no intimates, swimwear, seamless or fabric sourcing interest, since SUE concentrates on the underwear, lingerie and swimwear supply chain and adjacent trims.

    Min. budget

    Not yet confirmed

    Timeline

    Not applicable

    Risks

    No direct cost, but skipping forgoes a low-cost read on Chinese intimates supplier pricing and quality tiers
