How to verify
Chinese suppliers.

Verification is cheaper than a bad order. A few checks on registration, premises and payment terms filter out most of the risk before the deposit moves.

Start with the business licence

Every legal supplier has a registered entity. Check the licence, the registered scope and how long the company has existed, and match the bank account name to the registered name before any payment.

Check the factory, not the website

Photos and video calls can be staged. A third-party factory audit, or your own visit during a sourcing trip, tells you whether the supplier makes the product or trades someone else’s. Both are workable — but you should know which one you are dealing with.

Let the payment terms confirm the picture

Small deposits against clear milestones are normal; large prepayments to personal accounts are not. Suppliers who resist every verification step are telling you something, and the cheapest moment to listen is before the order.
