Restricted product checker
Check restricted products from China before paying a supplier
Screen product, platform, carrier, and destination risk before requesting a 1688 quote or assisted order.
Review before quote
1688 availability does not mean the product can be imported, shipped, listed, or handled by a platform.
Input
Product category, destination, sales channel, and risk signals
Output
Usually easier, manual review, or likely decline
Boundary
No platform approval, carrier acceptance, import legality, or compliance guarantee
Quick answer
Use this page to decide the next sourcing step
The useful output is not just a number or score. It should show what changes the decision and what to do before supplier payment.
Before supplier payment
A sourcing page should end in a decision, not a vague promise
Every Supplymo page should help the buyer decide whether to continue, sample first, request information, request a quote, manually review, or stop before paying a supplier.
Before supplier payment system
Product check first. Supplier payment only after the decision is clear.
Supplymo is not an open-ended sourcing promise. It is a pre-payment decision workflow: collect the product clue, expose missing fields and risk, then decide whether to stop, sample, quote, or move into assisted ordering.
Submit one product clue
Send a 1688, Shopify, AliExpress, CJ, Amazon, TikTok Shop link, image clue, keyword, quantity, destination, or prep note.
Get a written pre-payment check
Supplymo separates match quality, MOQ pressure, landed cost assumptions, prep needs, supplier signals, missing fields, and risk flags.
Choose the next action
The output should say continue, sample first, request info, request quote, manual review, change route, or stop before supplier payment.
Trust boundary
No supplier payment is created by submitting a product clue.
No lowest-price, supplier-quality, customs, tax, freight, delivery-time, or platform-approval guarantee.
Manual review is required when product, supplier, customs, prep, route, or restricted-goods signals are unclear.
Output
Written decision record, not a fake final quote.
Handoff
Human review when facts are missing or risk is high.

Official review paths
Use official sources as review inputs, not guarantees
These sources help frame platform-policy, product-safety, import, restricted-goods, and customs questions. They do not approve a specific product, supplier, shipment, or marketplace listing by themselves.

Use for U.S. children, baby, toy, age-grade, CPC, and test-report review questions.
FDA regulated-products import guidance
Use for U.S. food, cosmetic, medical, radiation-emitting, supplement, and similar regulated-product signals.
EU Safety Gate
Use as an EU product-safety alert and dangerous non-food product review path.
GOV.UK product safety law
Use for UK product-safety, marking, traceability, and importer-obligation questions.
Singapore controlled and prohibited goods
Use for Singapore controlled/prohibited goods, permit, HS/CA, and competent-authority review.
Service boundary
Use this page as a pre-payment decision aid
Supplymo does not guarantee the final order outcome.
This page helps expose missing fields, cost pressure, supplier risk, prep work, and route questions before supplier payment. It does not guarantee supplier quality, platform approval, customs clearance, final tax, final freight, delivery time, or sales performance.
Questions
Common decisions before requesting a quote
Does manual review mean the product is safe?
No. Manual review only means more details are needed before Supplymo decides whether to quote, reject, or ask for documents.
Can Supplymo handle branded goods?
Only if authorization and IP risk are clear enough for review. Counterfeit or unclear branded products can be declined.
Can batteries or liquids be shipped?
Maybe, but they require route, carrier, certificate, and documentation review and may still be rejected.
Is TikTok Shop approval guaranteed?
No. Platform category, product, and invite-only requirements remain outside Supplymo's guarantee.
What documents should I send?
Send product link, photos, destination, sales channel, MSDS, UN38.3, test reports, authorization, certificates, or any supplier compliance files.
Should I run this before product check?
Yes if the product has battery, liquid, cosmetic, food, child, medical, wireless, brand, or platform-sensitive signals.
Do official sources prove my product is allowed?
No. They are review paths. The result still depends on the exact product, claim, label, importer role, destination, route, platform, carrier, and current official review.
Does a supplier certificate screenshot clear the risk?
No. A certificate or MSDS should match the exact product, model, supplier, date, destination, and shipment use. Treat screenshots as evidence to verify, not final approval.
