Supplier & Price Check
One supplier, one product. Whether it is a factory or a trading company, who else it ships to in the United States, any customs or sanctions flag, and whether your price is fair.
- Factory or trading companyFrom the customs record and the registration
- US customers and trendWho else buys, and whether volume is rising or falling
- Public listsUS sanctions list and the forced-labour entity list
- Your priceAgainst our quote history, updated for freight and duty
You name one supplier and one product you buy from it. We check the supplier against the US customs record and the public lists, and we check your price against our own quote history for a product like yours. You get two pages, in three US business days.
Two pages: factory or trading company; the US customers and the two-year trend; any flag on the public lists; and a price verdict with the gap and how it was judged.
A product you do not buy yet, or a first factory from scratch. Start with a supplier you already buy from.
- Is this supplier a factory or a trading company?
- Who else does it ship to in the United States, and is that volume rising or falling?
- Does the name appear on any US customs or sanctions list?
- Is the price you pay today fair for a product like this, and by how much is it off?
Common questions
What do I send you?
The supplier's name as it appears on your invoice, the product, your current price and its basis (factory price or delivered), and roughly how much you buy in a year.
Will my supplier know?
No. The check reads public records and our own files. We do not contact your supplier.
Does the check name other factories?
No. It states the gap between your price and what factories quote for a product like yours. Factory names, with their quotes on paper, are the Price Case.
What if the record holds nothing on my supplier?
We say so. A supplier with no US customs record is itself a finding: the goods reach you through another name, or by a route the record does not show.
