How to verify a Chinese supplier

Step 1

Request the legal name and registration details. Compare these with the contract and payment beneficiary.

Step 2

Clarify manufacturing and trading roles. Ask which location produces the exact product you want.

Step 3

Review documents for the exact model and destination. Identify what evidence is missing rather than assuming every certificate applies.

Step 4

Choose a review scope proportional to the purchase. Record unresolved questions and conditions for proceeding.
