BEFORE YOU PAY, SIGN OR PLACE AN ORDER
China Supplier Preliminary Check
A practical preliminary review of a Chinese supplier’s legal identity, transaction documents, payment details, relevant public records and online presence—before you pay a deposit, sign a contract or place an order.
Designed for overseas buyers who need a clearer understanding of the supplier, the contracting entity and the payment arrangement before making a commercial commitment.
Know Who You Are Dealing With Before You Proceed
A supplier may appear reliable while important information remains unsupported, inconsistent or unclear. The Supplier Preliminary Check helps you examine the legal entity behind the transaction, compare the available documents and payment details, identify material concerns and understand what may need to be clarified before proceeding.
Is the supplier legitimate?
We check the supplier’s legal identity, registration status, business scope and other available registration information against relevant official and public sources.
Do documents and payment details align?
We compare the quotation, pro forma invoice, contract information and payment instructions to identify different company names, third-party beneficiaries or other material inconsistencies.
Is anything important missing?
We identify unsupported information, material gaps and points requiring clarification, then recommend practical follow-up actions for the buyer to consider.
