The same supplier, different risks

A supplier that is fine for one buyer can be wrong for another. These pages set out the verification questions specific to each buyer type — and state plainly where verification stops and testing, inspection or specialist audit has to take over.

  • Amazon FBA sellers

    Private-label sellers placing a first or second purchase order with a Chinese supplier found on Alibaba, at a trade show or through an agent.

  • First-time importers

    Buyers placing a first import order from China, without a China-based team and without prior experience of Chinese suppliers, documents or payment practice.

  • Hardware startups

    Founders and product engineers selecting a Chinese manufacturing partner for a pilot run or first production batch, often with tooling investment ahead of revenue.

  • Electronics and consumer hardware

    Buyers sourcing PCBA, consumer electronics, small appliances or connected devices from suppliers in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta clusters.

  • Furniture and home products

    Buyers sourcing furniture, home furnishing and household products, typically from the Foshan and Guangzhou cluster or the Zhejiang and Shandong clusters.
