China factory verification
Xiamen team validates credentials, capacity, and quality systems before you commit a purchase order. License checks, line walkthrough, then commercial terms. Not a tourist factory tour.
Factory verification is the identity and capacity check. Pre-shipment inspection is the lot check. Sourcing Center runs both from the China desk of Xiamen Ajmal Seven Color Trading Co Ltd (DUNS 509419282, China license 91350200MAE8W9E67A). Use verification on a first maker, a 1688 seller you have never walked, or whenever listing photos are the only proof you have been sent.
Verification workflow
Structured audits designed for procurement, not tourism factory tours. Pair with a hosted Visit China trip when you want to walk the line yourself.
Business license number, legal name, and whether the quotation matches the entity on the floor. China license review of the kind published on GSXT / National Enterprise Credit. Export credentials when the maker claims they ship themselves.
Walk the line. A trading layer can still be useful; you should know which one you are depositing with. See factory vs trading company in the knowledge base.
Active lines, not a showroom. MOQ the factory will actually run, not the listing speech. Sample vs mass-production path.
Incoming material, in-process checks, packing. Photo/video of the floor. Optional formal inspection at USD 110 per inspector day.
After verification, lock the lot with on-the-ground inspection (USD 110 per inspector day), hold stock in own 3PL in Xiamen or Dubai, or fly a hosted factory visit. Importer checklist: factory audit checklist · factory vs trading company · 1688 buying.
On-ground checks before you fund a PO: business license and export credentials, facility walkthrough, capacity and lead time, quality system and samples, then commercial terms. The China desk is based in Xiamen. Canonical page: https://sourcing.center/factory-verification
Yes. The desk reviews the business license number against the entity on the quotation (China license checks of the kind published on GSXT / National Enterprise Credit). We confirm whether you are talking to a factory or a trading layer. We do not publish a screenshot of every check on this site.
Verification answers who you are buying from and whether the line can make the goods. PSI answers whether this lot matches the spec. Use both on a first factory. Inspection rate: USD 110 per inspector day. https://sourcing.center/inspection
