The best way to reduce fraud when trading either online or offline, is for buyers and sellers to conduct proper due-diligence before entering into any transaction. None of the suppliers on Chinaaseantrade.com are guaranteed to be honest, so it is important to conduct proper research before commencing business. Tips on verifying your supplier:
1. Verify the supplier's identity. For Asia Suppliers, you can refer to the their Trustpass Profile on their Chinaaseantrade.com Company Website for their A&V Check or Onsite Check information. You should also use other offline/online methods to verify the supplier.
2. Verify the supplier's manufacturing/trading capability. You can also refer to the supplier’s Audit Reports (if available) for an independent onsite report of their manufacturing/trading capability. Verify the supplier's financial credit worthiness. Ask the supplier for their bank's reference letters.
3. Confirm the supplier's authorized signatory. .
4. Order a sample first to check the quality and to ensure that the product is what you are looking for. If the product you are ordering is too large to get samples, we suggest asking the supplier’s previous customers for reference.
5. Search for complaints or comments records on the Internet.
6. Look for Asia Suppliers that are long-term members on Chinaaseantrade.com. While Asia Supplier membership is not a guarantee of safety, they have passed an A&V process that increases the chances of a safe and positive trading experience. If a member has been a Gold Supplier for several years, then they are potentially an even better trading partner as they have a long history on our site. While we have many reliable, safe and high quality Free Members, you should always be extra careful in trading with them, as they have not been through the A&V process or verified in any way by Chinaaseantrade.com.
