The fair covers an exhibition area of 40,000 square meters with 1,660 international standard booths, bringing together nearly 800 exhibitors from 69 countries and regions. The event features four themed halls covering imported consumer goods, food and beverages, coffee and wine, apparel and accessories, as well as cross-border e-commerce and international trade services. It has attracted 160 exhibitors from previous China International Import Expos, along with national pavilions from the United Kingdom, Germany, Vietnam, Nepal, Pakistan, Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece, among other institutional participants.

At the Pakistan National Pavilion, displays include brass ornaments in various animal shapes, brass vases, onyx ornaments and jewellery. The pavilion places particular emphasis on Pakistan’s brass craftsmanship, illustrating a traditional process in which a single sheet of brass is transformed into a family heirloom through five stages of handwork and tens of thousands of hammer strikes in old workshops.

Beyond the fair, a permanent Pakistan National Pavilion was established in Yiwu in 2019 with the objective of showcasing Pakistani traditional and exportable products and culture while promoting bilateral trade. Operated by Eman Logistics Co. Ltd., the permanent pavilion primarily offers imported Pakistani food, handmade carpets, handicrafts, clothing and jewelry.
