1688 supplier verification helps overseas buyers separate low-price listings from suppliers that can prove business identity, production access, communication reliability, and export-readiness evidence.
Why 1688 verification is different
1688 is built for domestic China trade, so overseas buyers should not assume every listing is ready for export documentation, English communication, or destination-market compliance.
- Check company identity beyond storefront claims.
- Confirm whether the seller is a factory, trader, or domestic distributor.
- Ask for export handling evidence before price comparison.
What to verify before sampling
The buyer should verify legal identity, product capability, payment path, sample discipline, and whether the supplier can support inspection and export documents.
- Business license and operating address.
- Product photos tied to current production.
- Quotation terms, sample timing, and payment beneficiary.
