China company registration check
Check the legal entity record using the exact Chinese legal name or Unified Social Credit Code.
BUYER GUIDE MAPCN / WORLD
China supplier checks, organised by the decision in front of you.
Move from shortlisting to payment with a clear record of what to ask for, who owns the check and what the evidence still cannot prove. These guides help you frame a decision; they never approve a supplier, product, payment or shipment.
- Evidence, not a trust badge
- Buyer-owned decisions
- Limits stated on every route
STAGE / 01
Before you shortlist.
Separate registered identity, supplier claims and observed capability before you invite a factory or trading company into the next decision.
Supplier due diligence checklist
Keep identity, authority, capability, order fit, payment path and release decision as separate evidence lines.
Factory capability check
Scope a factory audit around buyer-defined criteria and observed evidence, rather than automatic approval.
STAGE / 02
Before you place the order.
Make the product, commercial terms, documents and sample version specific enough that a quotation and purchase order refer to the same decision.
Product classification and data checklist
Capture the product information a buyer needs before relying on a tariff, customs or compliance assumption.
Product specification checklist
Turn a product description into an identifiable, revision-controlled definition.
Certificate and test-report check
Separate a document’s validity from its relevance to your product, model, batch and order.
Quotation comparison checklist
Compare the assumptions behind each offer before you compare totals.
Sample approval checklist
Approve a traceable sample version as a controlled reference, not an impression.
Purchase order checklist
Convert one commercial decision into a controlled production baseline.
STAGE / 03
During production and shipment.
Keep revisions, inspection points and shipping records tied back to the approved order rather than reconstructing the decision after a problem appears.
Change notification checklist
Hold affected work until a specific new revision has a buyer-owned written approval.
Quality control plan checklist
Connect requirements, checkpoints and nonconformities to a controlled plan before production starts.
Corrective action request checklist
Close or reopen a nonconformity only after the corrective action has evidence of effectiveness.
During-production inspection checklist
Use a dated work-in-progress observation to choose whether to continue, hold or correct.
Pre-shipment inspection checklist
Turn a defined inspection scope into a buyer release-or-hold decision.
Shipping terms and documents checklist
Record the named place, trade term, delivery instructions and document responsibility together.
Commercial invoice and packing list checklist
Review the two shipment documents as a linked record, not as standalone files.
STAGE / 04
Before payment.
Use the legal supplier, invoice seller and beneficiary details as separate questions. A mismatch is a hold signal to resolve, not a fraud verdict.
Bank account check
Compare account details, account-opening evidence and company identity without claiming account ownership.
Payment check for Australian importers
Use the Australia-specific payment route where your order and destination make it relevant.
Supplier checklist for Australian importers
Add Australia-specific import, product-safety and biosecurity questions to the broader buyer workflow.
