How to identify a manufacturer or a trading company?

People who do business, especially those who do foreign trade, often encounter situations where the other party pretends to be a manufacturer.


In order to get customer, some trading companies lie about they are original factory and can call the shots on many things. , as a result, after the contract is signed, many problems cannot be solved later, so it is best to distinguish the authenticity from the beginning.



  • First of all, check the business licence.

    You can check the industrial and commercial registration information through the name of the company, which contains the registration business scope and business address. Based on the address, you can basically determine whether it is a factory, because the registered address of the factory needs to be consistent with the business license. And the business scope will show it is a trading company or a manufacturer.


  •  Checking the manufacturer's own website

    Analyze the official website is also a good way. Usually the manufacturer's website is relatively specific and professional, and contains a lot of manufacturer information, pictures, videos and process and quality control. While a trading company make make fake pics and videos and there is no constant connections among them. And factory website has single category while trading company display a lot. Normally Different categories, the production processes, equipment, and processes are different. Those differences can't be finished in one factory.


  • Judging based on the quotation and minimum order quantity

    Usually the quotations of manufacturers are relatively low and the minimum order quantity is large. However, ordinary trading companies can sell without MOQ and relatively higher prices. 


  • Visit the factory

     If the factory is not so far away, go and visit the factory if possible. Normally, it is allowed to visit the factory. If the other party does not agree, communicate more professional knowledge with the other party. Usually people in trading companies do not know so much about the manufacturing knowledge details of process .


  • Check the certificates

    Check whether the company name on the product certification, qualification certificate, system certificate, etc. that can have the company name on the photo document is consistent with their company. If it is a factory, it must be consistent. If it is inconsistent, there must be documents to prove that they are of an organization.


  •  See if it can provide after-sales guarantee

    because the physical manufacturer is sure to have after-sales guarantee. The factory is fully capable of making promises such as replacement, refund, warranty, etc., but traders usually cannot guarantee it, and these must be written in contractual.



Regardless of production or trade, each method has its own established value. When you choose a factory, you will be assured of product development, quality control and professionalism. Choosing a trading company will help you save trouble. If you want to purchase many different categories, it depends on which benefits you prefer.
