Loss Prevention and Safe Sourcing in China

Top Five Tips for Safe Sourcing

#1: Do your due diligence on potential suppliers and only buy from legit businesses. (see “supplier verification” section below)
#2: Use a bilingual contract (and also an NNN if you have intellectual property to protect). This Chinese lawyer explains why.
#3: Make sure the name on the supplier’s bank account matches their business license and contract. If these items are not the same, you will have little recourse in the event the supplier underperforms and you need to go to court.
#4: Don’t release payment until an independent 3rd party has checked the quality of goods before they ship out.
#5: If the deal is too good to be true, it is probably a scam. No matter what you heard on the internet, it is not possible to buy authentic Western brands (like Apple or Gucci) direct from “the factory”!
