How to check if your Chinese supplier is a factory or a manufacturer or a trader?

Situations:

1, They are only traders.

2, They have a small factory, but the product you buy is not produced by them.

3, They have two companies, one is a factory, the other is a trading company. This possibility is extremely low. If it is true, you need to find out the relation of the two companies through Chinese registered information.

Do you have to go take a look during the Covid? Of course not.

The easiest way:

How many kinds of goods they sell? The more kinds, the more likely to be a trader. A factory can not have many production lines for unrelated products.

The effective way: (You need a Chinese IP for the website. VPN ).

1, You need to ask your Chinese supplier about the Unified Social Credit Code of their company.

It is 18 characters, including letters and numbers. Every company legally registered in China has a Unified Social Credit Code. It is on their business license.

Here is an example: 91411000MA3XBYXG65

Open the website:

www.iecms.mofcom.gov.cn (Translate the webpage into English with Chrome browser, Chinese IP)

Click by steps.

Right-click on the webpage, select the “Translate into English”.

Click the “4”

The English name of this company is “XUCHANG SANSHUN ABRASIVE MATERIALS CO., LTD”.

Copy the Chinese name. “许昌三顺研磨材料有限公司”

Open the other website: www.gsxt.gov.cn (Chinese VPN)

The Chinese page:

It is a company Existence(in operation, opening, registration)

Open it and translate the page into English:

The English page:

Pay attention to the “Business Scope”, if there is “Producing” or “Production” or “Manufacture”, it is a factory.

If you can only see “Buy” or “Sales”, it is a trader.

In China, the traders can not have “Producing” or “Production” or “Manufacture” in their Business Scope, it is Government restrictions.

Those are the steps. Thank you!
