Free check: is your Chinese supplier the factory or a trader?
Currawong Web helps overseas buyers check a Chinese supplier before paying. The free factory-or-trader check takes the supplier's name or Alibaba store link, in English if needed, finds possible registered matches and explains the record line by line in plain English: registration status, registered industry, years since registration, and official abnormal-operation flags and penalties. No sign-up is needed.
It is an indicative reading, not a conclusion. A registration record cannot prove that a company runs its own factory, owns a bank account or will deliver. Paid company-record reports start at US$26.55, and scoped human-reviewed reports are available for buyers who need more.
