China Supplier Pre-Check

Surface the information gaps worth checking before you treat a supplier quotation as ready for payment.

Review the information you already have

A checklist can expose gaps but cannot prove a supplier is safe

Documents can be outdated, borrowed or misunderstood. Bank details, legal identity, product capability and the actual order terms still need context.

Use unknown as a real answer

It is better to mark something unknown than to assume it is fine. The purpose is to decide what should be checked before payment.
