Verification and search notes

Verify the company behind the listing

A marketplace account is only a lead. Use official sources to check the legal entity, import-export status, certificates, and evidence of a real production site.

  • Choose Buyer, Purchaser, or Sourcing when a platform asks for your role. Supplier registration is for people selling products.
  • Use an email address or phone number you control. Never share passwords, SMS codes, or identity verification codes with a supplier.
  • For material orders, consider an independent factory audit, pre-production sample, and pre-shipment inspection.

Search templates that reveal more

Replace the bracketed text, keep the quotation marks for exact company-name searches, and try both Chinese and English product terms.

Directory boundary

MDJ organizes public source links and learning methods. Listing a website or company does not mean endorsement, factory ownership, product quality, legal compliance, or transaction safety.

  • The factory, sales company, and export agent may be different legal entities. Map the relationship before payment.
  • Check product rules, certificates, labelling, intellectual property, tax, customs, and import restrictions for the destination country.
  • Platform rules, access, and verification labels can change. Read the current official terms before registering or paying.
