CPPIT Sichuan calls for exhibitors to 2026 NZ-China Commodity Expo

Summary

CCPIT Sichuan will lead a delegation to the 2026 New Zealand-China Commodity Expo in Auckland from 20 to 22 November 2026 and will hold a 2026 China (Sichuan)-New Zealand trade and investment matchmaking conference alongside it, the council said in a notice dated 17 April 2026. The delegation travels from 18 to 23 November 2026, six days in total, on the Chengdu-Auckland-Chengdu route. The expo runs at the New Zealand International Convention Centre with 5,000 square metres of floor space, showcasing products and services in emerging sectors including 3C electronics, health and medical care, smart home, green building materials, photovoltaic and energy storage, and high-end outdoor electric products and accessories.

One-stop, full-chain cross-border e-commerce services and a dedicated food and agricultural products zone will lift the conversion rate of bilateral trade cooperation. The matchmaking conference is set for 13:00-15:00 on 20 November, with exhibitors presenting products and holding trade and investment promotion talks with local industry associations, companies and institutions; the delegation will also visit and hold discussions with relevant companies and organisations. Booth fees are RMB42,000 per 9 square metre booth.

Subsidies for booth fees and personnel costs are available under the 2026 'Chuan Xing Tian Xia' (Sichuan Goes Global) programme policy, with costs paid upfront and reimbursed later. The council handles shipping and customs clearance of exhibits, with a cap of 1M3 or 50KG per exhibitor and any excess borne by the company. The Sichuan International Exhibition Centre is the organiser.

Companies wishing to exhibit must submit exhibition contracts by 30 September and remit booth fees to the designated account within three days of receiving confirmation. Contact: Su Wenjun, phone 028-68909179, 15828037016.

Commentary

CCPIT Sichuan is taking companies to the third edition of the New Zealand-China Commodity Expo in Auckland in November 2026. The 5,000 square metre event focuses on 3C electronics, photovoltaic and energy storage, smart home and other emerging sectors, supported by one-stop cross-border e-commerce services and a dedicated food and agricultural products zone. For New Zealand small and medium-sized businesses, it is first and foremost a window onto a manufacturing cluster in southwest China.

Sichuan has scale capacity in PV modules, storage batteries and consumer electronics, while New Zealand is accelerating its energy transition, with distributed solar installations up about 30% year on year in 2024, almost no local manufacturing in these categories and steadily growing import demand. Local importers and engineering firms can deal directly with manufacturers and use full-chain e-commerce services to lower compliance and logistics barriers, filling gaps in supply. Local brands and manufacturers, on the other hand, face more direct price and supply chain competition, but can also use the event to pursue contract manufacturing or technology partnerships.

Take high-end outdoor electric products: New Zealand's outdoor recreation market is mature, yet local production of power tools and portable power stations is limited. Bringing in Chinese solutions can quickly extend product lines, though CE and AS/NZS certification and intellectual property compliance need attention. The Sichuan-New Zealand trade and investment matchmaking conference runs for just two hours, and the booth fee is manageable once subsidised.

Companies with procurement or partnership intent should obtain the exhibitor list from the Sichuan International Exhibition Centre in advance, lock in their targets before the 30 September registration deadline, and turn attendance into orders.

四川省贸促会组织企业参加2026年11月奥克兰的新西兰-中国商品博览会，这是该展会第三届，规划5000平方米聚焦3C电子、光伏储能、智慧家居等新兴领域，并配套跨境电商一站式服务和食品农产品专题展区。对新西兰中小企业而言，这首先是一个近距离接触中国西南制造业集群的窗口。四川在光伏组件、储能电池和消费电子领域拥有规模化产能，而新西兰正加速能源转型，2024年分布式光伏装机同比增长约30%，本地几乎无相关制造，进口需求持续扩大。

通过博览会，本地进口商和工程商可直接对接厂商，利用跨境电商全链条服务降低合规与物流门槛，填补市场供应缺口。另一方面，本地品牌和制造商将面临更直接的价格与供应链竞争，但也可借机寻求代工或技术合作。例如高端户外电动化产品，新西兰户外休闲市场成熟，但电动工具、户外电源等本地生产有限，引入中国方案可快速扩充产品线，同时需关注CE/AS/NZS认证和知识产权合规。

展期举办的四川-新西兰贸易投资对接洽谈会限时2小时，展位费补贴后成本可控，建议有采购或合作意向的企业提前通过四川省国际展览中心获取参展名单，在9月30日报名截止前锁定对接目标，将参展转化为实际订单。
