BUYER GUIDES / 01
How to check a Chinese car supplier.
Check a Chinese car supplier before requesting a quote: company identity, platform review status, vehicle evidence and the contracting party.
Buyer sign-in is required to submit a request. Availability and quotations need supplier confirmation.
COMPANY PROFILE
What does a supplier profile include?
Start with the company profile. Understand your partner step by step.
- Company name and registration region
- Business operating location
- Company type and business scope
- Declared main automotive brands
- Public vehicle listings and supply information
- Business information review status
- Public contact information and inquiry channels
Information depends on what the company has submitted and is permitted to publish. Only public information allowed by access controls is displayed.
How are business review statuses presented?
Under its current review rules, the platform may request business registration, premises information and relevant supporting documents.
After review, the displayed status must reflect the actual outcome. An unreviewed business must not be labelled a verified supplier.
REVIEW STATUS
Four statuses. Four different meanings.
Information submitted
Information has been submitted or is awaiting review. Submission is not approval.
Business information reviewed
The corresponding company information has passed the current platform review process. Check the status actually shown.
Specific listing reviewed
A separate review of a particular vehicle or supply offer. Business review does not automatically approve a listing.
A review helps you understand a business. It does not replace transaction checks.
A platform review of business information does not mean any of the following certifications or guarantees:
- Government certification
- Official manufacturer authorization
- Inventory or supply guarantee
- Transaction performance guarantee
Before a formal transaction, buyers should independently verify the supplier’s identity, vehicle source and contract conditions.
How to begin working together
- 01Review the public company profile
- 02Check declared brands and listings
- 03Send an inquiry
- 04Confirm price and supply terms
- 05Negotiate directly with the supplier
Supplier verification checklist: retain evidence for the specific order
Platform review status does not replace checks on the counterparty and offered vehicles. Record the check date, evidence source and any unresolved mismatch.
| Check | Details to record or verify |
|---|---|
| Business identity | Compare the contracting entity, registration records and public supplier profile. Verify through independently obtained contact details. |
| Payment recipient | Match the contractual payee and bank beneficiary. Verify account changes again through a previously trusted channel. |
| Vehicles and stock | Request configuration sheets, vehicle identification and recent stock evidence tied to the quote. Identify owned stock versus sourcing on demand. |
| Authorization and documents | For authorization claims, verify the issuing entity, territory, products and validity. List documents deliverable for this order. |
| Performance terms | Put delivery dates, inspection, warranty, dispute handling and unmet-condition arrangements in the contract. |
Resolve entity or account mismatches before deciding whether to proceed. AUTOLINK does not collect vehicle purchase funds or deposits and does not hold transaction funds in escrow.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Car sourcing questions
How do I find Chinese car suppliers on AUTOLINK?
Open the public supplier directory and review the available profiles. Check the company location, declared brands and current review status, then use the relevant public listing or Buyer Center to begin an inquiry.
Does platform review mean factory authorization?
No. Business information review and manufacturer authorization are different. Check any specific authorization against the published status and supporting evidence.
What should I check before agreeing a vehicle purchase?
Identify the company signing the contract, confirm the exact vehicle and its source, and request the document and quotation scope in writing. Verify payment instructions independently with the contracting party.
