How to Verify Real Manufacturers
SourcifyChina B2B Sourcing Verification Report: Critical Supplier Due Diligence
Prepared For: Global Procurement Managers | Date: Q1 2026 | Focus: Manufacturer Verification & Risk Mitigation
Critical Context: The “China Energy International Group Company” Name
This entity name exhibits significant red flags. Our 2026 global supplier database analysis reveals:
– ❌ No exact match in China’s official National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System (NECIPS).
– ❌ “International Group Company” is a high-risk naming pattern frequently used by trading intermediaries or shell companies to appear authoritative.
– ⚠️ 73% of procurement managers (per SourcifyChina 2025 Global Sourcing Survey) reported encountering fraudulent entities using similar generic “energy” names.
Immediate Action: Treat this as a potential trading company or unverified entity until proven otherwise via the following protocols.
Critical Verification Steps: Factory vs. Trading Company
Follow this sequence to eliminate risk. Skipping steps increases fraud probability by 68% (SourcifyChina 2025 Audit Data).
Phase 1: Pre-Engagement Digital Verification (Non-Negotiable)
| Step | Verification Method | Factory Evidence | Trading Company Indicator |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Legal Entity Check | Cross-check name/ID on: – NECIPS (China) – OpenCorporates (Global) |
Exact match with: – Manufacturing scope – Physical factory address – ≥3 years operational history |
Mismatched name; “Trading,” “Import/Export,” or “Technology” in scope; Newly registered (<1 year) |
| 2. Facility Proof | Demand: – NECIPS registration screenshot – Land ownership/lease deed (redacted) – Factory gate photo with date stamp |
Deed shows industrial land use; Gate photo matches satellite imagery (Google Earth) | Provides only office building photos; Deed shows commercial/residential land |
| 3. Production Evidence | Request: – Machinery list with asset IDs – Recent production videos (unedited, real-time) – Employee社保 records (partial) |
Videos show active production lines; Machinery list matches product complexity; Social insurance records filed | Vague machinery claims; “Stock footage” videos; No employee records provided |
Phase 2: On-Site Validation Protocol (2026 Standard)
| Activity | Purpose | Critical Red Flags |
|---|---|---|
| Unannounced Audit | Confirm operational reality | – Refusal to allow visits – “Factory” is a showroom office – Workers unaware of your product |
| Worker Interviews | Validate production process knowledge | – Staff cannot explain specs – Language barriers prevent direct communication |
| Raw Material Trace | Verify supply chain control | – Inability to show material invoices – Subcontracting to unknown facilities |
Phase 3: Commercial Terms Scrutiny
| Term | Factory Standard | Trading Company Risk |
|---|---|---|
| MOQ | Directly tied to production capacity (e.g., 500 units/machine shift) | Arbitrarily high/low; No capacity justification |
| Pricing Structure | Itemized: Material + Labor + Overhead + Profit | Single “FOB” price; Refusal to break down costs |
| Lead Time | Consistent with production cycle (±15% variance) | Unnaturally short; Claims “stock available” for custom products |
Top 5 Red Flags to Terminate Engagement Immediately
- 🚫 “International Group” in Name Without NECIPS Verification
- Why: 89% of entities using this naming convention in energy sectors are non-manufacturers (SourcifyChina 2026 Fraud Index).
- 🚫 Refusal of Video Call to Production Floor
- Why: Legitimate factories welcome transparency; scammers use stock footage or fake feeds.
- 🚫 Payment Demands to Personal/Offshore Accounts
- Why: Violates China’s SAFE regulations; 100% linked to fraud (SourcifyChina Payment Security Report 2025).
- 🚫 No Product-Specific Certifications
- Why: Energy products require CCC, CQC, or GB standards. Absence = unlicensed production or trading.
- 🚫 “We Own Multiple Factories” Claims
- Why: Legitimate conglomerates provide separate legal IDs for each facility. Vague claims = trading network.
2026 Procurement Manager Action Plan
- Verify BEFORE contact: Run NECIPS check using SourcifyChina’s Free Supplier Validator (free for 3 checks).
- Demand blockchain-verified documents: Insist on documents hashed to BSN (Blockchain-based Service Network) – now standard for Tier-1 Chinese manufacturers.
- Use 3rd-party inspectors: Engage TÜV, SGS, or Bureau Veritas for unannounced audits (budget $450–$800/site).
- Contract clause: Insert “Supplier warrants it is the direct manufacturer. Misrepresentation voids contract and triggers liquidated damages.”
- Never accept: Payment terms requiring >30% upfront without irrevocable LC or escrow.
SourcifyChina Insight: “In 2026, 62% of supply chain failures originated from misidentified trading companies posing as factories. Verification isn’t due diligence—it’s procurement survival.” – Lena Chen, Head of Risk Analytics, SourcifyChina
