Check a Chinese supplier before you pay

Three levels, each including the one before. Every check is done from Canada, in Chinese, from official records.

  1. Supplier quick check

    Free

    Checks what your supplier sent you, in your browser: the licence code, the website and email, the payment details and the product.

    It does not prove that the company exists, is operating, or is the one you are paying. The C$79 supplier check verifies that.

    • Licence code format and province, under GB 32100-2015
    • Website and email domain age, and lookalike domains
    • Bank account name and location against the legal name
    • China surtax, anti-dumping and Health Canada recalls for the product
    • Email set-up (mail provider, SPF, DMARC) and +86 phone number location

    Instant, in your browser
