Identity comes before capability
Confirm the Chinese legal name, registration status, operating address, contracting entity and payment beneficiary. Similar English names and shared brands can conceal different legal entities.
A non-commercial supplier due-diligence checklist
Questions overseas buyers can use when moving from public research to their own direct verification.
START WITH THREE QUESTIONS
What a careful reader should establish.
- Does the legal entity match the contracting and payment entity?
- Are products, processes and certificates within the verified scope?
- Have samples, audits and contract controls been completed?
- Legal name and unified social credit code
- Contract and bank beneficiary consistency
- Operating address and contact ownership
Capability requires evidence at product level
A broad company profile cannot establish suitability for a specific part. Verify drawings, process route, equipment, inspection capacity, subcontracting, samples and change-control arrangements.
- Product-specific process and equipment
- Inspection method and calibrated equipment
- Sample approval and change control
Check the original source.
