China Supplier Risk Review

Not sure whether you should pay this supplier?

These are the questions small importers ask before sending money to a Chinese supplier:

• Does the payment account match the supplier company name?
• Is the business license consistent with the supplier profile and invoice?
• Is this supplier a real factory or a trading company?
• Is the quote missing important terms or red flags?
• Should I pay the deposit, or wait?

If you're not confident answering these questions yourself, a second opinion before payment can help you avoid a costly mistake.

What You Receive

After submitting your supplier information, you will receive a written Supplier Risk Review report that includes:

• Visible Risk Level: Low / Medium / High
• Summary of materials reviewed
• Key red flags identified
• Payment risk comments
• Quote or PI comments
• Questions to ask your supplier before payment
• Recommended next steps

This is a risk summary, not a supplier approval or guarantee.

The report is delivered by email, usually within 2 business days after we receive enough information.
