Cross-check any supplier against the records.

Clacta lays a supplier’s records side by side: registration, customs, certificates, who they ship to. Where they agree, you can move on. Where they don’t, that’s your short list to ask about. Every line sourced, every report dated.

A stack of supplier documents on a procurement desk becomes a Clacta Cross Check — registration and identity, what they make, certificates itemized, satellite view, production-site evidence and risk screening register by register, ending on the three status lamps and the verdict line

You liked the product.
Then the company went cold.

You met them at the fair, or the sample landed on your desk. The product was right. The company was a name on a card.

Then the folder arrives: company profile, certificates as PDFs, a few photos of the line. It all fits together, and most of it is accurate. It also all comes from one side of the table.

With a supplier down the road you would barely notice the next step. The register is one click away, and the folder either agrees with it or it does not.

Sourcing from China, that one click becomes a dozen registers, in Chinese, each holding a piece. Checking all of them for every supplier isn’t a sourcing timeline. It’s a project.

A cross-check turns it around: the records go side by side, and you check only where they disagree.

The evidence-coverage panel: four bars, each counting what its sources returned — record found, listed, no record found, no result yet, locked — under the line "Where we hold no result yet, the check says why. There is no score on this page.", with the legend below it — verified, declared, no source yet ("not evidence of absence"), no record found, records exist, not applicable.

Check a supplier in Wuxi
the way you’d check one in Wuppertal.

At home you pull one register and move on. For a supplier in China, Clacta pulls the registers and lays them side by side, so the checking left for you is the few lines that don’t match.

Provenance chips: 17 checks evaluated, 100% coverage of unlocked checks, and the recording authorities named — Administration for Market Regulation, Customs and the State Taxation Administration.

One Cross Check. No account to start.

Six things you will want to know.
Six questions you will be asked.

The Deep Check answers all six: one supplier, one page, in English, every line naming where it came from, the whole report dated. The free Cross Check opens the identity and the customs standing and names every register in scope; a free account adds the certificates, and the registers’ outcomes open with the Deep Check.

Who am I actually talking to?

You have the legal person behind the trading name, bound to its credit code — Identity binding: high — with its registered name in Chinese beside the English one, and the registered address on the map.

Administration for Market Regulation · the date the report was captured

A supplier identity card: English name, the registered Chinese name beside it, registration code, registry status, incorporation year, capital and customs registration — each line naming the authority that recorded it.

Any live landmines?

You have the screening scope in writing: the dishonest-debtor register, the judgment-debtor register, business-abnormality, serious-violation, administrative and environmental penalties, tax violations, customs discredit, international sanctions, forced-labour listings. Named up front, chosen by the check, never per supplier. Where we have no source yet, the line says so. It never says clean.

Each register named on its own line, with what it returned

The risk-screening scope: the line "set by the check’s design, never chosen per supplier", then fourteen registers named in full, from the dishonest-debtor register through forced-labour listings to court records.

Can their products legally enter the EU — and stay on the shelf?

You have each certificate number checked against the register that issued it, and the status as it reads there on the day it was read. Where a certificate should exist and we hold no record of it, the line says so, and never that it doesn’t exist.

The issuing body, named where the record holds it · the date the report was captured

Market admission: the customs export registration and the customs certified-enterprise (AEO) standing as it reads on the customs roster, each with its source and the date it was read; the certificates on file and the core industry set locked on this tier.

Who has actually bought from them? Is quality stable?

You have the U.S. customs bills of lading — who really shipped, not who was named as a reference. And you have the national spot-check and recall registers, both outcomes, with the window they cover.

U.S. customs import records · State recall registry · SAMR supervision registry

If something goes wrong, whom do I hold? Can they disappear?

The website says five hundred people. You have the number on the social-insurance record. You have whether the legal person is still active and since when, the group it sits inside, and the branches attached to it.

Social-insurance fields, verbatim · National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System

Accountability: registry status active, established in the 2010s; public listing marked not applicable, with the note that the official register itself was not checked and may differ; the social-insurance headcount bracket 100-199 persons, with the pension-insured staff the company filed in its annual reports — 133 in 2024, 130 in 2025.

Is doing business with them smooth?

You have their customs credit tier and what it buys them at clearance, their tax credit grade and how many years it has held, and the year they were first registered to export.

Customs · State Taxation Administration · IEC filing date

Transaction readiness: tax credit grade A in 2025 from the State Taxation Administration and customs-registered exporter since the 2010s, each with its source and read date; the corporate bank account locked on this tier.

A trading storefront and a manufacturing plant
look nothing alike from above.

Every report ends in a line we are prepared to defend.

Verified manufacturer

a production site, bound to its discharge permit

See all five tiers

Registered manufacturer

a production site on the register, permit not bound

Verified exporter

registered with customs as an exporter

Registered supplier

on the register, and nothing further yet

Identity on file

we could bind the identity, and no more

Not a score. Not a ranking. A tier — with the reason attached, and the gap note that comes with it.

What these terms mean · How we check

The verdict line "Verified manufacturer" with the note "evidence coverage 100% · coverage of unlocked checks 100%", beside the standing and risk-screening chips.

What this page will not do.

Built only from public records and the supplier’s own published statements.

It does not score suppliers, and it does not rank them.

A register does not pass judgement. It lets you look things up.

Where we have no source yet, the line says so. It never says “clean”.

“We searched and found no entry” and “we have no source for this yet” lead to two different decisions. The report always tells you which one you are looking at.

A short bar means documents are missing — never that the company is weak.

A newly registered workshop with clean lamps gets the same green lamps as a listed group, with shorter bars.

The legend: verified means an authority record bound to this legal person; no source yet means we hold no record for the check — not evidence of absence — and where we asked and got no answer, the row says so.

Look up a supplier

The film above is a functionality demonstration. Its material comes from several different companies, so nothing in it should be read as a statement about any one of them. For statements we do stand behind, open a supplier's own Cross Check page, where every line names its origin, an authority or the supplier's own site, and the report carries the date it was captured.
