A Risk Scanner Before Cooperation<\/b><\/strong><\/p>

To help clients accurately select Chinese suppliers, identify potential legal and commercial risks, and avoid performance failures, product quality issues, or commercial fraud due to unqualified partners.<\/p>

Basic Information Verification<\/b><\/strong>:Verify the supplier’s business registration status (existence status, paid-in capital), business scope (matching the transaction target), and shareholder structure (existing related-party risks) through official channels (National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System, Credit China, etc.).<\/p>

Business Qualification Review<\/b><\/strong>:\u00a0For specific industries (e.g., food, medical devices, chemical products), confirm whether the supplier holds production licenses, business qualifications, mandatory certifications (e.g., CCC certification), and other legally required entry documents.<\/p>

Credit and Litigation Investigation<\/b><\/strong>:\u00a0Obtain the supplier’s litigation records (sales contract disputes, labor arbitration, administrative penalties), information on dishonest judgment debtors, and customs credit rating (e.g., AEO certification status) to assess their performance integrity and compliance level.<\/p>

On-site Visits and Background Investigations<\/b><\/strong>: Based on client needs, assist in commissioning third-party agencies or lawyers to conduct on-site inspections of the supplier’s production\/warehousing conditions, interview upstream and downstream partners, and verify their actual operating capabilities and reputation.<\/p>

Customized Risk Assessment Report<\/b><\/strong>: Summarize the investigation results, mark “high-risk items” (e.g., history of multiple defaults, lack of key qualifications), and provide legal advice on “whether to cooperate” and “how to control risks.” Applicable Scenarios: Before initial cooperation with Chinese suppliers, before bulk purchases of important goods, and when dealing with high-value or technically sensitive goods (such as precision instruments and pharmaceutical raw materials).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
