How to Verify a Chinese Supplier Is a Real Factory
An estimated 60-70% of suppliers listed on Alibaba and similar marketplaces are trading companies, not factories. They buy from real manufacturers and add a 10-30% markup. Here is how to tell the difference using public records - and what to check before you pay a deposit.
- 1. Confirm the company exists and is active
- 2. Read the business scope
- 3. Compare registered capital with the claimed scale
- 4. Search risk and court records
- 5. Verify customs import and export credit
- 6. Cross-check the online footprint
