How to Verify a Chinese Supplier Before You Wire a Deposit

Five checks that separate legitimate factories from costly scams.

Sourcing  By Royal Consultancy · December 2, 2025

Sourcing from China is safe when you verify properly. Do these five checks before paying anyone.

  • Confirm the business licence and registered scope.
  • Request and independently verify trade references.
  • Commission a factory audit — in person or via a third party.
  • Inspect samples against your written specification.
  • Start with a small order and escrow-style payment terms.

We run exactly this process for every sourcing client.
