L1Registry snapshot
Source: licensed Chinese business-information platform · queried 2026-08-02 (illustrative)
Status: 存续 (in operation) · Established: 2011-04-18 · Registered capital: CNY 5,000,000 · Registered address: 广东省佛山市南海区示例工业园X座 · Scope: 五金制品制造、加工;货物进出口 (all values illustrative)
Fact. The registered scope on file covers manufacturing and processing and carries its own import-export line, at the query date shown.
Relevance. Scope wording is how the registry says what this entity is licensed to do, the first thing to compare against what the salesperson claims.
Limit. A licensed scope is permission, not practice: it is not proof of a factory floor, and says nothing about where your order would actually be produced.
02Qualification certificates (production licences)
Source: licensed Chinese business-information platform · queried 2026-08-02 (illustrative)
2 administrative licence records displayed: 全国工业产品生产许可证 (valid to 2027-09) · 排污许可 (valid to 2026-12) (illustrative)
Fact. Two licence records are on file for this entity: an industrial production licence (valid to 2027-09) and a pollutant-discharge permit (valid to 2026-12).
Relevance. Production licences are issued to the producing entity in its own name — worth reading because they are capability on record, and because the holder named on them must match your contract party.
Limit. Registered capability, not current output or quality; document authenticity was not inspected in this scope, and absence of a licence may only mean the product needs none.
03Dishonest debtor + enforcement records
Source: licensed Chinese business-information platform · queried 2026-08-02 (illustrative)
0 dishonest-debtor records · 1 closed enforcement record (2019, CNY 84,000, satisfied) (illustrative)
Fact. Zero dishonest-debtor records at the query date; one enforcement record from 2019 (CNY 84,000), marked satisfied and closed.
Relevance. These are the court records read before a deposit changes hands. The closed 2019 entry is reported rather than hidden, a dated fact, not a verdict.
Limit. A clean record is not payment safety: this line records disputes that already reached a court, and a first default has not reached one yet.
04Import/export credit (customs registration & rating)
Source: licensed Chinese business-information platform · queried 2026-08-02 (illustrative)
Customs registration displayed: 一般信用企业 (general credit) · registered 2013 (illustrative)
Fact. A customs registration is on file for this entity (rating: 一般信用/general credit, registered 2013), at the query date shown.
Relevance. Its own customs registration is what lets an entity export under its own name instead of through a third-party exporter of record, which is also who invoices you.
Limit. Registration to export, not export volume: this cannot show how much, what, or to whom it actually ships. General credit is the default rating, not an endorsement.
05Annual report (social-insurance headcount)
Source: licensed Chinese business-information platform · queried 2026-08-02 (illustrative)
2025 annual report: social-insurance headcount 87 (illustrative)
Fact. The 2025 annual report filed by the company states a social-insurance headcount of 87.
Relevance. Insured headcount is a dated, self-reported scale record, one of the few numbers the company itself must file every year.
Limit. Self-reported once a year, so it can be up to a filing cycle out of date, and it excludes agency-dispatched workers. It is scale evidence, not a precise employee count.
—Limitations
Commercial databases may lag official records; all findings reflect the retrieval date above. Registration records describe the legal entity, not the factory floor: no registry report can confirm where your order is actually produced. Certificates were matched by holder name only; document authenticity was not inspected in this scope. (Wording shown as it would appear; details vary per order.)
End of specimen — this shows the format of five lines; a delivered identity check carries ten. Every line separates three layers — Fact (the record, source-named and dated), Relevance (why the line is worth reading), Limit (what the check cannot show); the first is data, the other two are standing notes about the check type, never a judgement about the company. Your delivered report follows this exact structure for the checks you selected, with real registry values, the real source used and the real query date on every line, and its limitations stated, never hidden.
