Supplier Verification Evidence: Document Checks Before a First Order
Evidence focus
This evidence page explains how supplier verification evidence is organized before a first order. It records what was checked and what remains unverified.
Purpose
Give the buyer a clear decision file that separates confirmed supplier facts from claims that still need independent checks.
Checks included
- Chinese and English legal company names
- Business license and registered scope
- Bank account name compared with the legal entity
- Official company contact and email domain
- Factory address and product category claims
- Certificates with issuing body, scope, and dates
- Trade platform profile consistency
- Disclosure of trading company versus manufacturer
Report structure
The evidence file lists the supplier, the documents reviewed, the date of each check, and the source of each document. Each finding is marked confirmed, not confirmed, or needs follow-up.
Use the result
A verified supplier profile supports sample orders and commercial negotiation. If key production evidence is missing, the next step is a factory visit or structured audit before a large order.
