Legal and export credentials
Confirm business license, tax registration, and whether the entity can export or works through a licensed trader.
Capacity and lead time
Walk or review production lines, monthly output, and peak-season load. Catalog claims often overstate available capacity.
Quality system
Incoming material checks, in-process inspection, final QC, and how defects are documented with photos.
Sample vs mass production risk
Approve a production-intent sample, not a showroom piece. Require photo/video gates before shipment.
