Sourcing from China offers massive potential, but the risks to your capital are real. You can’t afford to skip verification. Protecting your financials and securing a smooth supply chain demands a robust due diligence plan that looks far past the initial quote. At China Procure, we guarantee your investment is protected by going the extra mile, delivering the deep analysis necessary for a reliable Chinese partner and supply chain.
1. Deep Dive: Unmasking the Supplier’s True Identity
The most critical step is running the supplier’s Unified Social Credit Code (USCC) through China’s official database. This complex check is the key to differentiating a legal partner from a risky venture.
At China Procure,Pro, we analyze the official records to confirm: We start by confirming the factory’s official Chinese legal name for registry searching. Next, we examine the Business Scope on their license: a genuine factory must list terms like “manufacture” (制造) or “produce” (生产). If the scope only lists “wholesale” (批发) or “retail” (零售), you’re likely dealing with a middleman.
This public record also reveals the Registered Capital and Shareholder structure. Low capital or frequently changing ownership can signal instability. Furthermore, we cross-reference the USCC with official court systems to expose County Court Judgments and pending lawsuits. Excessive litigation or being listed as a “Dishonest Debtor” is a critical warning sign of financial instability or unreliability in honoring contracts.
2. Verify the Product & Facility
Paperwork is only the starting point; you now must confirm if the supplier can actually produce your goods to standard.
On-Site/Off-Site Audit: Assessing Capabilities
Verification requires a physical assessment. At China Procure we arrange a professional factory inspection (either on-site with a physical visit or off-site via a detailed virtual inspection/document audit, sample copies available) to assess several factors. Our audits confirm Production Capacity by checking for sufficient machinery and personnel, verify the presence of Genuine Quality Control (QC) processes and testing tools, and ensure the Infrastructure is compliant and organised. Crucially, the inspection verifies the actual factory location against the legal registered address obtained from the USCC check.
Product and Factory Certifications: The Dual Check
Beyond the factory, the product itself must be verified through rigorous documentation and testing. This process requires a dual check.
First, you must verify the Factory Certifications (System Checks). This involves reviewing documents like ISO 9001 to confirm the factory operates under a documented Quality Management System.
Second, demand relevant, market-specific Product Certifications (Compliance Checks). These include marks such as UL, CE, TUV, RoHS, FCC etc or other product compliance certifications required for your target market.
Noting, it is essential to cross-verify that these certifications are current, authentic, and registered in the name of the supplier you are working with (not an expired or transferred certificate from another factory). This is done by checking the certificate number directly against the issuing body’s public database.
3. Final Layer: Export History & Market Credibility
The final stage confirms the supplier’s track record in the international marketplace—data that is generally not publicly available.
We seek data that confirms the supplier’s Customs Export Records, verifying their export experience, scale, and product mix. This proves they have a consistent history of legally moving goods through customs. Furthermore, by confirming key international shipping destinations and transaction frequency, we can gauge their Customer Base & Volume, indicating market credibility and stability.
