Identity and first evidence
Desk review
Review the Chinese legal entity, registration status, business role, payment alignment and the documents relevant to the buyer's requirement.
CHINA SUPPLIER & FACTORY VERIFICATION
Factory verification in China for U.S. industrial buyers.
Check the business, commercial role and relevant capability before a sample, deposit or production decision.
Request Factory VerificationDECISIONS BEFORE THE ORDER
Four questions a verification record should answer.
The review depth follows the product, supplier route and decision risk. A general factory profile is not the conclusion.
- 01
Identity
Which Chinese legal entity is responsible for the quotation, contract and payment route?
- 02
Business role
Is the contact acting as manufacturer, seller, exporter, intermediary or a combination of roles?
- 03
Capability
What evidence connects the actual factory processes to the buyer's product and acceptance criteria?
- 04
Open risk
Which statements still need documents, observation, testing or specialist review?
REVIEW DEPTH
Use the level that can answer the open questions.
Desk, remote and on-site work can be used independently or connected. The scope is agreed before the review begins.
Focused clarification
Remote capability review
Use documents, interviews and agreed live visual evidence when they can answer the defined capability and process questions.
Direct observation
On-site factory visit
Visit against a requirement-specific agenda when equipment, process control, material handling or production conditions need direct observation.
EVIDENCE STATUS
Keep facts, supplier statements and open items separate.
Every conclusion should remain tied to its source and the scope of the check.

PUBLIC SAMPLE RECORDS
Inspect the reporting structure.
These files use illustrative or anonymized content. They demonstrate format only and do not certify or approve a supplier.
SCOPE BEFORE CLAIMS
Verification supports a buyer decision. It does not replace it.
Product testing, customs, legal, engineering, certification and destination compliance are assigned to the appropriate responsible party when they fall outside the agreed verification scope.
