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

The checklist
What Supplymo checks
Eight things that decide whether a 1688 product and supplier are worth moving toward the United States — verified before any supplier payment.
The inputs that shape the decision
Product clue
Identifies the exact product or the 1688 matches that need review.
Quantity
Sets the MOQ tier, negotiation volume, and cash exposure.
Destination
Sets the shipping, customs, and restricted-product assumptions.
Maximum unit price
Optional. Gives the negotiation agent a clear CNY ceiling without confusing it with your retail price.
Variant or must-have
Optional. Prevents the agent from negotiating the wrong size, color, material, or configuration.

Destination facts that change the answer
What changes landed cost to the United States
US rules shifted in 2025. A low 1688 price is only the first line — these are the factors that decide your real US landed cost before you pay a supplier.
Official sources
De minimis is no longer a safe assumption
Don't assume US-bound parcels under $800 are duty-free. Executive Order 14256 ended duty-free de minimis for covered PRC/Hong Kong goods (from 2025-05-02), and EO 14324 suspended it for all countries (from 2025-08-29). Check current CBP guidance before quoting.
HTS classification drives the duty
Duty starts from your HTS code, country of origin, customs value, and entry method — not the product name. Section 301 and IEEPA tariffs may stack on top.
Clearing customs is not permission to sell
Children's products (CPSC/CPC), food, supplements, and cosmetics (FDA/MoCRA), and electronics (FCC/battery) have compliance rules that 1688 listing claims do not satisfy.
For sourcing planning only. Duties, tariffs, HTS classification, origin rules, and entry method can change the final amount — confirm current treatment with CBP or a licensed customs broker before paying a supplier.

A first order should rely on visible evidence, not blind trust.

FAQ
US sourcing questions before you pay
Are 1688 parcels under $800 still duty-free into the US?
Don't assume that. US policy suspended duty-free de minimis for broad categories — for covered PRC/Hong Kong goods from 2025-05-02 (EO 14256) and for all countries from 2025-08-29 (EO 14324). Check current CBP guidance before quoting landed cost.
How do I estimate US duty on 1688 goods?
Start from HTS classification, country of origin, customs value, and entry method, then check current CBP guidance. Section 301 and IEEPA tariffs may apply on top. We surface the questions; a broker confirms the rate.
Can I sell 1688 products on Shopify or TikTok Shop in the US?
Often yes, but compare landed cost and compliance risk, not just item price. Children's products, electronics, cosmetics, and food/supplements have CPSC/FCC/FDA rules that 1688 listings do not satisfy.
Is DDP safer for a US small seller?
DDP can simplify the buyer experience, but it does not remove product-compliance or incorrect-declaration risk. Confirm what a DDP quote actually covers.
What happens if the product is restricted or needs specialist compliance advice?
The check flags visible restricted-product, carrier, certification, and platform-compliance signals. A high-risk or unclear case can end in Manual review or Stop. It is not legal or customs advice, so regulated categories still need the appropriate specialist before you pay.
What evidence do I receive after goods reach the China warehouse?
When receiving and photo evidence are included in your approved quote, you receive dated photos of the visible cartons, labels, and contents before the next handoff. Those photos do not by themselves prove product performance, full compliance, or defect-free goods; deeper inspection is a separate approved scope.
Can I start with a keyword instead of a 1688 link?
Yes. Supplymo first searches for likely 1688 products and asks you to choose the correct one before the written check begins.
Does this form contact or pay the supplier?
Not by default. Supplymo may contact or negotiate with a supplier only when you explicitly check the per-product authorization. Ordering and payment always remain separate confirmed steps.
What happens when product data is incomplete?
Missing SKU, material, weight, carton, certificate, or destination facts remain visible and may change the result to request information, sample first, manual review, or stop.
Send the product or supplier link before you pay
Start with one strong product. Supplymo will route it as a check, supplier question, quote, sample, assisted order, prep, or shipping request.
