096. Recommendation
A genuine manufacturer with eleven years of history and clean export records — but two loose ends to resolve before wiring the balance.
Before wiring the balance
- Get a signed letter confirming the Hong Kong entity is a controlled affiliate and that payment to it discharges the mainland invoice.
- Request the renewed ISO 9001 certificate before shipment release.
