Verify a Chinese company before your money moves
A desk-based check from China at $129 per request: the registry record, your documents against it, and the supplier's story tested. Written English report within two business days.
What gets checked
What we do: the Unified Social Credit Code is queried against the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System and public local registries.
On the record: status, official name, legal representative, establishment date, registered address, business scope, penalties, equity freezes, annual reports.
What you get
The deliverable: a written English report: the record as filed, your documents as received, where the two disagree, and what is worth checking next. One remote request covers one subject; up to 8 hours of desk work.
Typical tasks: Registry check · document consistency · supplier background inquiry · claim verification
Where it stops
Honest boundary: the registry proves the legal claim, not the physical reality. A valid company can be a shell and a registered manufacturer can be a middleman. When reality is the question, that is an on-site day at $239, billed from departure.
- Does an entity with this credit code exist, and is the status active rather than revoked or cancelled?
- Does the business scope say production or only trading, and does the name match everywhere?
- Do the documents the supplier sent agree with the record, line by line?
- Is the registered address a plausible site or a shared office; worth a physical check?
- What to look at next, stated plainly in the report.
You cannot judge a Chinese supplier from a PDF. What you can do before anything is wired is check the paper against the government's own record: does an entity with this credit code exist, is its status active, does the registered scope say manufacturing or trading, is the address a real place or an agent office in a tower. That is the remote layer, and one request covers it.
Start with the license field by field guide, and read what a registry check proves versus an on-site visit. When the question turns physical, the on-site layer is the factory visit day at $239.
Frequently asked questions
How do I verify if a Chinese company is real?
Start with the Unified Social Credit Code: look the company up in the public registry and confirm status, official name, business scope and the address of record. A remote verification costs $129 and delivers a written English report within two business days.
What does the $129 remote check include?
Up to eight hours of desk work in China on one subject: registry lookups, document consistency checks, supplier or claim inquiry, and a written report with sources. Unrelated companies or documents are separate requests, and the quote says so before you pay.
Can a registry check replace a site visit?
No. The registry proves the legal claim: that an entity exists and what it says about itself. Whether the building, the line and the packing floor match that claim is a physical question, answered by an on-site day at $239, billed from departure.
