Verify a Chinese aluminum supplier
Enter a company name, trade name, or 18-digit USCC to pull a 0-100 trust score built from SAMR registration status, public risk flags, and certifications on file. Customs-shipment data is not yet available. Free. No login.
4-component trust formula
China's Unified Social Credit Code confirms legal registration. We verify the USCC is present in our SAMR-sourced dataset and the samr_active flag is set. Worth 30 points.
Customs-shipment data (ImportYeti / Panjiva) is not yet ingested; this component currently scores 0 for all suppliers. It will scale from 0 to 30 once the pipeline is live.
At least one certification (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, QUALICOAT, Intertek, SGS, etc.) has been self-declared or found in public sources. Worth 20 points. Independent registry cross-checks are not yet in place. We do not issue or sell certifications.
Critical flags include: stock exchange delisting notices, UFLPA forced-labor links, documented MTC forgery cases, or SAMR administrative penalties. Any critical flag zeroes this component (−20).
Common questions
What does the trust score measure?
The 0-100 score has four components: USCC registration confirmed active with SAMR (+30), no critical risk flags such as regulatory penalties or delistings (+20), certifications on file (+20), and shipment evidence from customs records (+20 — currently zero for all suppliers; customs-shipment data is not yet available).
What is a USCC number?
USCC stands for Unified Social Credit Code (统一社会信用代码). It is the 18-character identifier issued by China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) to every legally registered company. Think of it as China's equivalent of a company registration number. An active USCC confirms a supplier is legally registered in mainland China.
Why is a supplier not found?
Our database covers ~160 Tier-A and ~200 Tier-B Chinese aluminum mills. If a supplier is not found, they may be outside our current coverage, operate under a different trade name, or have not been indexed yet. Coverage expands weekly.
What is the 'flagged' verdict?
A 'flagged' verdict means at least one critical risk flag is on record for this supplier — for example, a stock exchange delisting, a UFLPA forced-labor link, or a documented MTC forgery case. We recommend requesting additional documentation and consulting a sourcing agent before placing orders.
