China due diligence and company verification.

Use this human check when records conflict, an official portal needs to be re-read, or the decision is material. Each delivered line comes back naming the official record it came from and the date it was read, together with the limits of what could be confirmed.

Already paid and the supplier has gone quiet? Start here instead: a record check cannot recover funds. Already have a report from us and reality does not match a line in it? Email the order ID and that line. A person re-reads it against the official source, and it is corrected or refunded with no time limit.

Need the workflow rather than a paid human review? Start with the six-check supplier due diligence checklist.

$128 USD from: $89 base for one entity plus $39 per record category a person reads at the official source · your quote appears on your private status page the moment you submit · delivered within 3 business days of payment confirmation · paid by PayPal, by hosted checkout that takes a card without a PayPal account, or by international bank transfer · which of the three are open to you depends on your country and your card issuer, and checkout lists them · in the fixed report template

Need registry records without a human recheck? The self-serve report covers those lines. Your order confirmation states the delivery window, which will not exceed 72 hours after payment confirmation.

Which one do you actually need? Just checking who a company is, before a small first order: the self-serve identity pack. About to send a deposit and the payee name looks off: the before-payment check. Records that contradict each other, or an order big enough that you want a person reading the official portals by hand: this page.

First order refundable, no reason needed: 14 days from delivery, in full to the original payment method, once per buyer, written into the terms. Company and payment details are listed openly in the trust centre. Only the supplier name is required; every other field on the form is optional. Ordering is open, and nothing is charged when you submit. The confirmation comes back straight away with the delivery window for your order. For the checkout methods it carries the payment link too, so you are not waiting on a reply before you can pay. Fulfilment starts once your payment is confirmed.

Where this sits. Free browser checks come first: the unified social credit code check and the factory-or-trader reading. Next come theme packs from $26.55, with registry lines from $4.90 priced inside them on the published menu. Then the before-you-pay record pack. Then comes the human portal reading on this page, from $128 USD. On-site factory verification is from $169/man-day USD, quoted per visit. Each answers a different question. The cheaper ones do not become the dearer one.

One entity, checked by a person, costs $89 plus $39 per record category. Extra entities, rush turnaround and checks outside the list are quoted separately before you pay. Eyes on a factory floor are a separate on-site tier, quoted per visit. Start with the instant tool and report builder for an in-browser wording screen. Registry-data lookup is offered only when that tool shows a provider as available; otherwise it fails closed. Send me your supplier's details and I turn them into a structured check request. I interpret the licensed-platform records, then recheck the key lines by hand against the official public portals. I do not proxy, embed or scrape government portals from my servers or your browser.

PUBLIC SOURCES / 01

Licensed Chinese business-information platforms, 18 record categories: the scope of an L3 human record check.

What can be returned depends on platform coverage, identity matching and the records displayed at the time of the check.

The measurements behind this site’s claims. Every figure below covers the full named batch, with no sampling, and carries the date it was measured because availability, registrations and scope wording all change.

The guides below tell buyers what to check and where. This table is what the site itself measured about that process. It includes the uncomfortable finding that five of the eight official hosts a buyer would be sent to did not serve their front page on the test date.

SRC

Platform records, rechecked at the official source

The 18 categories are read from a licensed Chinese business-information platform, the same single commercial source named in the terms. They cover registration, shareholders and disclosed contributions, personnel, branches, changes, annual reports, licences and penalties. They also cover abnormal and serious-illegal lists, inspections, pledges, mortgages, judicial assistance, announcements, enforcement and judgment records displayed at query time. In an L3 check the researcher additionally rechecks key lines by hand against the official portals. Each rechecked line names the official source, its query date and any access limitation.

X-V

Official-source recheck by a person

Where a record matters to your decision, the researcher rechecks it against the official publicity system it originates from. The report shows what each side displays, with dates. Disagreement between the platform and the official source is reported to you: never silently resolved.

LIM

What these platforms are, and are not

They republish Chinese official registration and court disclosures. They are not the official portals themselves. The origins they name are the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System (国家企业信用信息公示系统), China Judgements Online (中国裁判文书网) and the China Enforcement Information Disclosure Network (中国执行信息公开网). They also name the National Intellectual Property Administration and its Trademark Office (国家知识产权局 / 中国商标网), and the National Copyright Administration (国家版权局). Those platforms state that they display such records as published and warrant nothing about their accuracy, completeness or timeliness. Republication lag and coverage gaps exist, so a platform showing no record is not proof that no official record exists. Every line states the query date and the limits of what was checked.

The Chinese rules behind these checks are public. Links checked on 7 September 2026.

WORKFLOW / 02

You submit.
China checks.
You receive the limits too.

  1. 01

    You identify the supplier

    Use the Chinese legal name. Add the Unified Social Credit Code when available to reduce false matches.

  2. 02

    A person checks the selected sources

    I work through the official portals manually and record access failures right on the report. I’m Derrick: see exactly who you are dealing with.

  3. 03

    You receive a dated snapshot

    The reply states the source checked, query date, visible result summary, and identity or access limitations.

REPORT TEMPLATE / 03

One fixed report format,
agreed before you order.

Every completed L3 check is delivered through your private result link in the exact structure below, the same fields our fulfilment system records. Submitting a request means you accept this format as the deliverable.

Two-panel diagram: a check does read the official Chinese record from the China side, name the source and query date, state limits, report no-result honestly and refund unavailable sources; a check does not approve or score suppliers, give legal customs or tax advice, process payments, certify products, or guarantee outcomes
The boundary is deliberate: a report you can rely on must say where its reliability stops. Original Currawong diagram.
CURRAWONG / L3 REPORT TEMPLATE$128 USD
Status
completed: or unable, with the reason on the record (portal outage, identity ambiguity) and the affected scope refunded per our terms.
Query date
The date the official portals were read by a person. Findings reflect that date only; records can change after it.
Identity match
matched / partial / unconfirmed: how confidently the public records were tied to the exact supplier you named.
Result summary
What was visibly on record for each requested category, written in plain English: no verdict inflation, no “safe supplier” wording.
Sources
Each official portal checked, listed with its individual outcome, access failures included.
Limitations
What could not be checked or confirmed, and why. This field is never empty when a limit exists.

A human-read, dated snapshot with its limits on the record. It is neither a scraped export nor a government-portal screenshot, and it is not a guarantee.

Delivery format: the completed report appears on your private result link. It is a plain web page you can save or print to PDF. No account, nothing to install. (The self-serve Supplier Evidence Report is delivered differently: a view-only link, re-openable in 30-minute sessions for 7 days.) A receipt goes to the email you provide. Need a receipt or invoice naming your company for reimbursement? Ask in the request notes or by email.

REQUEST / 04

Prepare the company check request.

$206 USD for 3 record categories: $89 base + 3 × $39. The price follows what you tick below, and updates as you tick. What the self-serve report cannot do at any price: a person opens the official portals and re-reads the key lines there. When the licensed platform and the official source disagree, the report says so and shows both. An access failure is recorded as a failure. And the report states what the record means for the decision you named. The self-serve packs give you the records. This tier gives you a person who has read them against the source. Nothing is charged at this step; anything outside that scope is quoted separately before you pay.

Your supplier identity, sourcing context and selected checks are submitted to Currawong only after you press the button. Email is optional: a delivery channel for the receipt and completion notice. No account is created.

Ordering is open, and nothing is charged when you submit. The confirmation comes back straight away with the delivery window for your order. For the checkout methods it carries the payment link too, so you are not waiting on a reply before you can pay. Fulfilment starts once your payment is confirmed.

Minimal submissionNo official portal is contacted from your browser. You receive a private result link; save it. If you lose it, email us your payment reference and a person can reissue it. Read the privacy notice.

Company and payment details are listed openly in the trust centre.

Ordering is open, and nothing is charged when you submit. The confirmation comes back straight away with the delivery window for your order. For the checkout methods it carries the payment link too, so you are not waiting on a reply before you can pay. Fulfilment starts once your payment is confirmed.

Submitting means you accept the L3 report template as the deliverable format. The price is $89 USD for one entity plus $39 USD for each record category you tick; a typical three-category order is $206 USD. The exact quote, what it covers and how long it holds appear on your private status page as soon as you submit. Nothing is charged at this step; anything outside that scope is quoted separately before you pay.

BOUNDARIES / 05

An official-record screen is where diligence starts; it approves nothing.

  • Not legal advice. Use qualified legal or compliance counsel for material decisions.
  • Not a quality audit. Public records do not verify products, factories, samples or delivery capability.
  • Not exhaustive. Portal access, displayed fields and searchable records may change or be unavailable.
  • Not a safety guarantee. A clear public-record screen cannot prove that a transaction is risk-free.

When the screen is not enough, the scoped checks start where it stops. Each is priced, dated and states its own gaps. Confirm the registered entity behind a name. Test a manufacturer claim against the registry footprint. Check identity and payment records before the deposit leaves. Or take every check on the menu as one bundle.

MEASURED / WHAT THE BOUNDARIES LOOK LIKE IN NUMBERS

Those limits, with figures attached

The boundaries above are stated as principles. On 21–22 August 2026 I measured what they amount to, across 45 Chinese manufacturers: every company on the NHTSA vehicle-manufacturer list resolving to exactly one Chinese entity.

Each stated boundary against a measured figure. Queried 21–22 August 2026.
Stated boundaryWhat I measured
A clear public record is not a safety guarantee45 of 45 had a clear sanction record: passing that screen distinguishes nobody
Not a quality audit; records do not verify factoriesA branch linking the company to a production address exists for 8 of 45
Not exhaustive; access and fields may be unavailableOf eight official source hosts, five refused; one changed its client filtering within two weeks
A starting point, not an approvalIdentity, filings and change history answer for 41–45 of 45: substantial, and none of it about your order

The first row is the one worth pausing on. Not one of the 45 carried a current sanction record, so “nothing adverse found” is the ordinary result: it distinguishes nobody. It is still worth checking: the rare exception is what you are paying to rule out. But it is not evidence that a supplier is sound.

These figures are why the request form asks what decision the check is for. The record answers identity questions well and order questions not at all; knowing which one you need is what keeps the output useful.
