Use Search Engines and Chinese Supplier Directories<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\">When you browse the Chinese wholesale website, go through all their policies (returns, damage, out of stock) and make sure their contact details and physical address are posted on the website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\">Open Google or Bing and search for &#8220;[company name] + scam,&#8221; &#8220;[company name] + dishonesty,&#8221; and a few variations. Other distributors and retailers who have had bad experiences with Chinese wholesale suppliers often try to leave their mark online about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\">When searching for a supplier&#8217;s company name, you&#8217;ll find profiles they&#8217;ve created on several B2B directories, including Alibaba, Global Sources, Hong Kong Trade Development Council, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\">These places are a great place to start by checking reviews, getting references and asking questions, but beware of affiliates who are just trying to sell themselves. For example, look at how long the supplier has been operating (preferably doing business with a supplier that has been in the market for at least 2-3 years).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\">Also, many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/b2b-sourcing\/\">B2B marketplaces<\/a> often offer verification services, like one from Alibaba, so it makes your life easier when you&#8217;re deciding whether you can trust a certain supplier. Likewise, Global Sources also checks important data on suppliers such as start date, number of employees in each department, factory ownership, sales, brand names, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\">2.

Bring it up right away at the first meeting or email. If the supplier refuses or starts making excuses that it&#8217;s not a good idea, that&#8217;s a red flag!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/china-factory-audit\/\">A factory audit<\/a><\/strong> is the right tool to verify Chinese supplier&#8217;s claims about their production capabilities. Most quality control companies and some purchasing agents can audit factories against a checklist that matches your needs. Prices in major production areas range from $200 to $900(If need, you can contact us).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\">3. Check Chinese Business License<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\">Check Chinese license is a good way to <span class=\"___SText_12shi-ko_\" data-ui-name=\"Link.Text\">verify Chinese companies online. <\/span>Chinese suppliers must register with the Chinese government and obtain a unique company registration number. If your supplier cannot provide a unique 18 digit Chinese business registration number, it is too risky to continue dealing with them. To verify the registration number, please visit the local administrative government website or contact the local industry and commerce bureau.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: roboto;\"><strong>How does a Chinese Business License look like?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">A company receives an official certificate &amp; copy when a Business license is issued to it. Therefore, every authorized company should provide a copy of their business license. The copy and certificate both contain the same information regarding the business license.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">An authorized supplier will happily share a copy of the license. If the supplier does not provide a copy of the license, then there\u2019s something wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">The local branches of the AIC issue business license certificates, so they look the same throughout Mainland China. There may be some changes depending upon the location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">The China company business license is useful to determine a company\u2019s authenticity as it provides basic information about the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">The image that is shown above states important information; it includes data as listed below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: roboto;\">18-Digit Chinese Business Registration Number.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: roboto;\">Company\u2019s Official name.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: roboto;\">Entity type.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: roboto;\">Official Address.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: roboto;\">The Legal Representative<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: roboto;\">Registered Capital<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: roboto;\">Date of the establishment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: roboto;\">Expiry Date.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: roboto;\">Business scope.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: roboto;\">QR-Code.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">If you receive a business license copy from a supplier, it usually looks like this (I have translated here the important things into English, as all the business licenses are issued in Chinese):<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1786\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/supplyia-verify-a-chinese-business-license-1-291x300.jpg\" alt=\"supplyia-verify a chinese business license\" width=\"800\" height=\"824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/supplyia-verify-a-chinese-business-license-1-291x300.jpg 291w, https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/supplyia-verify-a-chinese-business-license-1-600x618.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/supplyia-verify-a-chinese-business-license-1-768x791.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/supplyia-verify-a-chinese-business-license-1.jpg 937w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\"><strong>How to Check Chinese Business License Numbers?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">As mentioned earlier, business registrations are operated by local branches of the AIC. Companies&#8217; official registration records are uploaded into a database, known as China\u2019s (NECIPS) National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System by these authorities. It is a good way to <span class=\"___SText_12shi-ko_\" data-ui-name=\"Link.Text\">verify financial transaction with Chinese supplier &#8211; <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\">Make Good Use of Databases (NECIPS)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">Including your supplier, you can find a company\u2019s registration and business records through NECIPS\u2019s website. This information is reliable and accurate as it is uploaded here by the official authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">Here you will see how the actual verification process is done using the NECIPS database. You need to do proper verification of your suppliers using these two pieces of information:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">18 digit Chinese business registration number.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">Company name in Chinese (to make sure that you have the record of the right company).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">In this example, I will show you how to verify Chinese supplier with registration record &#8211; Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd, one of China\u2019s biggest technology companies. The NECIPS website is only operational in the Chinese language, but you don\u2019t need to know any Chinese to verify the license.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><b>Step 1: Go to the website of\u00a0the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System (NECIPS)<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">The first step is to visit the website of the NECIPS:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gsxt.gov.cn\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.gsxt.gov.cn<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qixin.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.qixin.com\/ <\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">(<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">if gsxt.gov.con not work in your country)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">The landing page will look like the following image, and translate it into your language.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><b>Step 2: Enter the 18-digit business registration number<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">After reaching the website, you need to type your suppliers\u2019 business registration number.

If you are cooperating with a relatively small supplier who has too many lawsuit records, then we suggest you not to cooperate with him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\">4. Make a Call to Verify Chinese Company<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\">To avoid being tracked by law enforcement, most scammers do not provide real online registration information. For example, they will provide false business addresses, phone and fax numbers, or persuade buyers to contact them only on their mobile phones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\">Make a call to the landline of the Chinese supplier and ask for the company registration number and business license number. If the provider only has a mobile number, not a landline, an alarm should go off in your head. In China, people can buy hundreds of mobile phone numbers without any restrictions. That&#8217;s why scammers almost always use mobile numbers instead of landlines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\">5. Use Money Matters<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\">When we get to the topic of money, when it comes to payment, tell your potential Chinese supplier that you want your product to be picked up from their address by your local agent and they will pay cash on delivery. See if they allow it. Scammers will never agree, but real legitimate suppliers will.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\">Also, TT, Western Union, MoneyGram are the most common payment methods in China, but good providers also accept PayPal. Always be cautious about using an untraceable wire transfer service with a provider you don&#8217;t know &#8211; it&#8217;s high risk and prone to fraud.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: roboto;\">6. Visit the Company or Factory in Person<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">This is the best way to verify Chinese supplier &#8211; you won&#8217;t know much about an organization unless you visit in person. You can also discuss your product, price, quality inspection and delivery time expectations face to face. You can&#8217;t visit every potential supplier you can think of, so go through the steps outlined in this article and narrow down your options before you decide to hop on a plane to visit their office or factory in person.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 24pt; font-family: roboto;\"><strong><b>7. Ask for <\/b><\/strong><strong><b>Suppliers\u2019 <\/b><\/strong><strong><b>References<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\">If you doubt a Chinese supplier\u2019s legitimacy, you can ask for references before sourcing the Chinese manufacturer. An easy way of verifying Chinese supplier is through references. Through suppliers\u2019 reference letters, you can easily appraise the quality of output from their business. The previous customer reviews can also tell you about a supplier\u2019s capacity to give you quality products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: roboto;\">You can also contact their previous customers and enquire about the service providence from the Chinese manufacturer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Note<\/strong>:<em> In most cases, they will refuse to give you client testimonials. Many good manufacturers want to keep their customer lists private (unless they work with a well-known big box retailer) for fear that competitors will try to reach customers and drive down prices.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 24pt;\">Example of Verify Chinese Supplier\/Company<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">Well stated. Indeed, scammers attract a consistent flow of inattentive buyers. The higher the number of inexperienced buyers, the greater the presence of scammers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">If a buyer progresses to the point of consulting the business register, they are already exhibiting prudence. Over the past two months, we have encountered three instances where potential buyers didn&#8217;t perceive this as necessary:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">1. A buyer discovers a &#8220;good price&#8221; supplier and proceeds to place an order. The supplier demands 100% prepayment through Western Union, with payments divided into installments. Subsequently, after receiving the funds, the supplier inflates the price by 250%. Seeking assistance, the buyers reached out to us. Upon investigating the &#8220;company,&#8221; we uncovered an English-only website with a fabricated address. The telephone call was redirected through a call forwarding service, and once we suggested a meeting, the calls went unanswered. Financial Loss for the Buyer: $9,000.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">2. A European buyer contacts a local company and enters negotiations for a product. All aspects seemed satisfactory, leading the buyer to specify the component as binding for a new project. However, when we proposed meetings with local suppliers and factory audits, the buyer declined. We ventured to the stated &#8220;headquarters&#8221; address in Shenzhen and discovered an abandoned office. Building management disclosed that the tenant had been absent for nearly a year, with a lawsuit filed due to substantial unpaid rent and utility charges. In this instance, the buyer incurred no direct financial loss but expended two months&#8217; effort, causing project delays.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">3. Another European buyer intended to order electronic components and enlisted the assistance of a close Chinese acquaintance at the ABC company (a genuine name!). The acquaintance provided a list of QQ and mobile phone numbers\u2014no address or company name. When we cautioned the buyer on the pitfalls and the necessity for meticulous handling, he grew irate, insisting that this was the &#8220;Chinese way of doing business.&#8221; We respectfully disagreed.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: roboto; font-size: 14pt;\">Naturally, the aforementioned instances do not characterize Chinese companies as a whole. However, both parties play a role, and these fraudulent entities seem to continuously attract overseas buyers who, to put it mildly, are not naive.
