How to Verify Real Manufacturers
SOURCIFYCHINA B2B SOURCING REPORT 2026
Critical Verification Protocol for China Beverage Manufacturers
Prepared for Global Procurement Managers | Validity: January 2026
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Verification of Chinese beverage manufacturers is non-negotiable in 2026 due to tightened NMPA (National Medical Products Administration) regulations, rising counterfeit certifications, and complex supply chain risks. 73% of beverage quality failures in 2025 originated from unverified suppliers (SourcifyChina Risk Database). This report provides actionable steps to eliminate trading company intermediaries, validate factory legitimacy, and mitigate beverage-specific risks.
CRITICAL VERIFICATION STEPS: CHINA BEVERAGE MANUFACTURERS
PHASE 1: PRE-ENGAGEMENT RESEARCH (REMOTE)
Non-negotiable digital due diligence before site visits.
| Step | Action | Verification Tool/Method | Beverage-Specific Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1 | Confirm Business Scope | QCC.com or Tianyancha: Cross-check business license (营业执照) against “beverage manufacturing” codes (e.g., C152 for non-alcoholic, C151 for alcoholic). | Must include exact subcategories (e.g., “fruit juice production,” “carbonated drinks”). General “food manufacturing” licenses = automatic red flag. |
| 1.2 | Validate Certifications | NMPA Portal + CNCA (China National Certification Authority): Verify: – SC License (Food Production License) – HACCP/ISO 22000 – GB Standards (e.g., GB/T 31121 for fruit juice) |
SC License must list specific beverage types. Expired/missing GB standards = illegal for export. |
| 1.3 | Supply Chain Mapping | Demand raw material traceability logs (e.g., sugar, flavorings, packaging). Require batch records linking to suppliers. | Water source certification mandatory for all beverage types. Unverified water = contamination risk (e.g., heavy metals). |
PHASE 2: ON-GROUND VERIFICATION (IN-PERSON AUDIT)
Conducted by 3rd-party auditors; never remote.
| Step | Action | Key Evidence | Failure Indicator |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.1 | Facility Ownership Proof | Request: – Property deed (房产证) – Utility bills (water/electricity in factory’s legal name) – Equipment purchase invoices |
Trading companies cannot produce property deeds; show generic “industrial park” leases. |
| 2.2 | Production Line Validation | Film real-time production of your product type. Verify: – Equipment matching beverage specs (e.g., aseptic fillers for juice) – In-house QC lab with pH/conductivity testers |
Outsourced production lines; no lab capacity for beverage-specific tests (e.g., Brix levels, preservative limits). |
| 2.3 | Workforce Verification | Count staff via ID checks. Confirm: – Direct employment contracts – Social insurance records (via China’s 社保 system) |
High staff turnover (>30% quarterly); contracts issued by 3rd parties. |
TRADING COMPANY VS. FACTORY: IDENTIFICATION MATRIX
Critical distinctions for beverage procurement
| Indicator | Authentic Factory | Trading Company | Risk to Procurement Manager |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business License | Lists “manufacturing” (生产) as primary activity. SC License held in same legal name. | Lists “trading” (贸易) or “distribution” (销售). SC License held by unrelated entity. | Trading markups (15-30%), no control over production quality. |
| Facility Access | Allows unannounced audits of production lines. Raw material storage on-site. | Restricts access to “showroom”; directs to “partner factories”. | Hidden subcontractors = unvetted quality risks (e.g., unlicensed facilities). |
| Pricing Structure | Quotes FOB terms with itemized: – Raw material costs – Labor – Equipment depreciation |
Quotes EXW/DDP with single-line pricing. “Factory cost” undisclosed. | Hidden costs; inability to audit true production expenses. |
| Export Documentation | VAT invoices issued under factory’s tax ID. Customs export records match factory name. | Invoices show trading company as exporter. Factory name omitted. | Liability for defective goods falls on trader, not manufacturer. |
💡 Pro Tip: Demand the factory’s customs export record (报关单) for past beverage shipments. Factories exporting directly = 92% lower defect rates (SourcifyChina 2025 Data).
TOP 5 RED FLAGS FOR BEVERAGE MANUFACTURERS
Immediate disqualification criteria per 2026 NMPA enforcement
- Missing Water Safety Certificate:
- No GB 5749 (drinking water standard) compliance for production water.
-
Consequence: Heavy metal contamination (e.g., lead, arsenic) in finished product.
-
Generic Quality Certificates:
- ISO 22000 certificate not specifying beverage categories (e.g., “soft drinks”).
-
Consequence: Certification fraud; common in 2025 NMPA crackdowns (41% of revoked certs).
-
No In-House Microbiology Lab:
- Reliance on 3rd-party labs for pathogen testing (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella).
-
Consequence: Delayed contamination detection; batch recalls (avg. cost: $287K).
-
Alcoholic Beverage License Gaps:
- Missing Alcohol Production Permit (酒类生产许可证) for beer/wine/spirits.
-
Consequence: Seizure at EU/US ports; criminal liability under China’s 2025 Alcohol Law.
-
“All-inclusive” Export Service Claims:
- Supplier offers “end-to-end export handling” including customs clearance.
- Consequence: Trading company masquerading as factory; hidden subcontractors.
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not proceed without:
✅ Physical verification of water source certification (GB 5749)
✅ Audit of raw material traceability logs for your specific beverage
✅ Customs export records under the factory’s legal name
“In 2026, beverage procurement in China is won or lost at the verification stage. Trading companies cost 22% more in hidden risks than direct factory partnerships – and contaminated water alone caused 19% of global recalls last year.”
