Check your Chinese supplier before you pay.
Paste one product or supplier link. Supplymo checks the product match, supplier risk, MOQ, landed-cost pressure, prep needs, and shipping assumptions before you pay. If it passes, we can continue into quote, sample, 1688 purchase, China-side evidence, prep, and shipping with the same decision trail.

The checklist
What Supplymo checks
Thirteen checks that decide whether a 1688 product is worth ordering — verified before any supplier payment.
Restricted & banned screen
Is it controlled or export-banned?
HS code & duty
HS classification and tariff rate.
Same-product matches
We find and compare same-product suppliers.
IP / infringement risk
Counterfeit and brand red flags.
Platform compliance
Cert/policy needs per selling platform.
Fraud & price anomaly
Price outliers and fake-listing signals.
Supplier due diligence
Business registry + credibility check.
Image authenticity
Real product photos vs stock images.
Landed cost
All-in cost to your destination.
Profit & net margin
Real margin after platform fees.
Lead time
Production + shipping ETA.
MOQ & order fit
Minimum order quantity vs your volume.
Certification gap
Missing export certs (CE/FCC/etc.).
Before-payment teardowns
Real teardowns, real decisions
Three published product teardowns — same checks, three different calls. Read the full walk-throughs.
Aluminum phone stand
ContinueThe call
Continue to quote if the buyer accepts a narrow first SKU mix and collects carton/packaging evidence before payment.
Read the full teardown
Pet bed
Sample firstThe call
Sample first if material, odor, compression, and real packed size are not clear. The visible 1688 price is not enough for a first bulk order.
Read the full teardown
Reusable storage bag
StopThe call
Stop before supplier payment unless the buyer can clarify material, claims, MOQ, and package volume. A low listing price is not enough.

Who you're working with
A real operation in China — and clear boundaries
Before you send any money: who handles your order, what we promise, and what we deliberately don't.
The proof that matters is specific to your order, and you get it at the moments it counts:
- Real, dated photos of your own goods once they arrive at our Yiwu warehouse.
- A written product check with costs, MOQ, and supplier-risk flags before any supplier is paid.
- A registered import/export company and business license you can ask to see.
A real China-based operation
Physical receiving and prep workspace in Yiwu, not a drop-ship middleman.
Verifiable company details
Registered import/export entity with a business license you can request.

Why our advice is different
Almost everyone who helps you buy gets paid when you buy.
So they're never paid to tell you when an order is a mistake. We are — that's why our report can end in 🛑 Don't buy.
Read the founder's noteWhere our report can land
Most agents can only ever land on “buy.” We're free to say stop.

Frequently asked
What do I need to submit?
Send a product link, image, keyword, destination, target quantity, and any packaging or channel requirements you already know.
How long does a report take?
Most lightweight checks are prepared in 24-48 hours after we have a usable product clue.
What if you can't find a good match?
The report says so. A no-match result can still save money before supplier payment.
Do you purchase from any supplier?
No. Supplier, product, route, and restriction risks can stop or delay a purchase.
What if I only need shipping?
Supplymo can quote shipping in some cases, but product and package data are still needed.
Is Supplymo a China sourcing agent?
Yes — Supplymo works as a China sourcing agent for overseas sellers, but the focus is the pre-payment decision: we check product match, supplier risk, and landed cost before you pay, and you approve a written quote before any supplier payment. We are not a lowest-price buying service or a personal Taobao parcel-forwarding agent.
