If you want to buy products from a Chinese supplier (who are also manufacturers) to grow your business, then it is particularly important to know how to judge the quality of a Chinese factory.

1. Verify their company registration information

Checking a company's registration information, such as registration date, business scope, registration address, trademarks, etc., can let you see if they are legal and experienced.

To look up the registration information of a Chinese company, the first step is to get their business registration number. Step 2 is to type its business registration number into China’s National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System.

2. Check their reputation

What are other people saying about this supplier? Is it a reliable manufacturer and supplier? Their price is the affordable price?

3. Check their stores on well-known B2B platforms

Most high-quality manufacturers in China will open their stores on alibaba.com, made-in-china.com, globalsources.com, or other B2B platforms. If a factory does not have a store on any of the above platforms, you should avoid it.
