Trade knowledge guide
Supplier Verification
Check business registration, address, production scope, equipment, quality controls and export experience.
Key caution
A business licence or marketplace profile alone does not prove factory ownership, production capacity, certificate validity or reliability. Verify important claims independently.
Practical checklist
- Record product, parties, origin, destination and relevant dates.
- Define contract responsibilities and acceptance criteria in writing.
- Request documents relevant to the exact product and market.
- Verify material claims with an official source or issuing body.
- Keep quote versions, approvals, payment records and shipment documents.
- Resolve uncertainty before irreversible payment or shipment.
