BUYING DECISIONS / 01
Start with the decision
in front of you.
Choose the question holding up your order. Each route explains the evidence to request and its limits.
CAPABILITY / BEFORE ORDER
Can this site make this product for this order?
Separate a registered business scope from dated, order-specific evidence of people, equipment, process and capacity.
Factory capability route →DOCUMENTS / BEFORE APPROVAL
Do these certificates cover the right holder and product?
Check the holder, issuer, scope, validity and product or sample link without treating one logo as blanket approval.
Certificate evidence route →PAYMENT / BEFORE DEPOSIT
Does the beneficiary belong in the transaction chain?
Put the registered supplier, contract seller, invoice issuer and beneficiary account into one review before money moves.
Bank account route →AFTER PAYMENT / GONE QUIET
Already paid, and the supplier has stopped replying?
What you can still do tonight, which records settle whether chasing is worth it, and where the dispute windows sit. No lecture about what you should have done first.
Paid-and-silent route →VERIFY / I HAVE A SUPPLIER
Verify a supplier you already have
Bring your supplier. The report menu shows current availability before a source can be selected. Or ask a person to scope a human check.
Build a scoped supplier report →Request a scoped human quote →
SOURCE / I NEED A PRODUCT
Need a product sourced from China?
Bring a product, quantity and destination. Our buying desk sells and fulfils accepted orders; check its eligibility and payment terms first. A supplier check never becomes a sourcing offer.
Find a sourcing route →EVIDENCE STANDARD / 02
See what supports a finding,
and where it stops.
Trust comes from showing the work: the source consulted, the date checked, the match logic, unresolved gaps and the decision that the evidence cannot make for you.
SOURCE RECORD / CHECKABLE
Every finding names its source and the day it was checked
A completed check identifies what was consulted, what was visible on that date and which company identifier was used. Access failures stay visible instead of becoming a clean result.
Self-service reports use a licensed Chinese business-information platform. Its records originate from 国家企业信用信息公示系统 (company registry), 中国裁判文书网 (court judgments) and 中国执行信息公开网 (enforcement records). L3 adds a manual official-source recheck. We do not query, proxy or cache official portals by automated means. Read our dated access study and its limits.
How the verification desk handles evidence →METHOD / BOUNDED
We separate what the record proves from what it only suggests
Not a trust badge or supplier approval. Each finding states what the record supports, what it cannot prove and what still needs buyer, inspection, testing, legal or banking review.

THE GAP / 03
Some capable factories are
hard to find overseas.
A factory may have production capability without an English-speaking sales team, overseas marketing or export credentials in its own name. In those cases, an intermediary may handle the export. That possibility is a reason to verify the legal and payment chain. It does not prove that any particular seller is a factory.
| Measurement | What it establishes | Frame | Taken |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registered-scope count | 197 of 264 saved records contained import-export wording (74.6%) | Saved 264-name frame; original-list checks remain open | 8 Aug 2026 |
| Change-log count | 145 of 264 had a change in the prior 12 months (54.9%); median 39 changes | Same 264 companies | 8 Aug 2026 |
| Official-source availability | Five of eight official hosts did not serve their front page | 8 hosts: 3 browser-UA rounds and one CLI request | 8 Aug 2026 |
| A mistyped code fails loudly | USCI caught all 1,080,000 tested single-character substitutions. A passing code can still be fabricated or contain other errors | 1,080,000 USCI single-character substitutions; generated codes | 9 Aug 2026 |
| Name-search result counts | In this sample, 42.5% returned nothing; 50.9% returned exactly one row | 106 queried names; one result does not prove identity | 18 Aug 2026 |
| Report menu: source links | All 153 checks had a source set. That does not prove data came back. | 153 menu items; links to data sources | 22 Aug 2026 |
Menu check, 10 September 2026: each of the 153 checks in the saved 22 August menu had a source set. This says where a request would go. It does not show that data came back or that a buyer got a report. The old 134/153 figure could not be checked and has been withdrawn.
Whatever question you start from, the answer traces back to one of these. Every figure is dated, because registrations and source availability keep moving. If we have not measured something, the page says so.
A seller advertising as a "factory" may be a trading company. It may sit several layers away from the workshop that actually makes your product. An honest trade partner adds real value: English communication, consolidation, quality checks, logistics. The problem is not the middleman. The problem is not knowing who you are actually buying from.
Currawong starts with the buyer’s question. Screen the wording you have. Use a commercial data source only when the page shows it is available, or arrange a scoped human public-record check. A showcase is a directory of factory profiles. Ours is not open and has no launch date. We do not yet have the factory relationships it would need. If it opens, each profile will separate facts from claims, name sources and dates, and show known gaps. No profile is a guarantee of outcome.

MEASURED / 03B
41 of 45 selected codes returned a customs credit record
On 22 August 2026 we queried a commercial platform for 45 selected company codes. These came from single-candidate name matches in our NHTSA vehicle-manufacturer study; a name match alone does not prove identity.
| Status | Companies |
|---|---|
| Import/export credit record returned | 41 of 45 |
| No import-export credit entry returned; exporter not identified | 4 of 45 |
The query returned no import-export credit entry for four of these 45 selected codes. A missing entry does not prove no official record exists. It does not identify an exporter or show that any product reached the United States.
The names were selected from NHTSA manufacturer filings and resolved to one provider result each. A filing does not prove US sales, and one result does not confirm the entity match. This selected group cannot estimate how many factories are missing from export markets. The 45 are the same 45 companies I use throughout this site, read along different dimensions. The batch is described in the NHTSA manufacturer study.

COMMON QUESTIONS / 05
Three things buyers ask before they order
Do you query the official Chinese portals yourself?
Self-service lookups use a licensed Chinese business-information platform, when that source is available. Its records originate from the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System, China Judgements Online and the China Enforcement Information Disclosure Network. The L3 service adds a manual official-source recheck by arrangement. We do not automate queries to those portals. Commercial records may lag; findings carry the retrieval date.
What can I check for free before ordering a report?
Start free by finding candidate company names, checking an 18-character code or reading the business-scope wording. When the source is available, the full check page can also retrieve a company-record snapshot. Choose a paid report for more records, with a named source, query date and explanation for each check. A format check or name-search match alone does not confirm registration.
Will you tell me whether to buy from this supplier?
We help you make that decision with clear, dated evidence. Your report opens with an identity check and a summary of records returned and gaps. Each check explains why its records matter and what they do not show. Use it to question the supplier and decide what to verify next. The final buying decision stays with your team.
