Request the business licence, export licence, and one relevant certification. Cross-check the company name on gsxt.gov.cn. Then arrange a factory audit — either in person, via video, or through a third-party inspection agency. Never wire a deposit without completing at least two of these steps.
The biggest risk in sourcing glass packaging from China is not quality — it is fraud. Trading companies presenting themselves as factories, factories with inflated capacity claims, and outright scam operations all target first-time importers. A $200 verification process protects you from a $5,000–$50,000 deposit loss.
Even with a legitimate factory, verification tells you whether their quality systems match their claims. A factory that hesitates to share its business licence or declines a video call is showing you something important.
Every Chinese company must have a registered business licence. Request the scanned document and check: the company name (must match exactly what you are invoicing), the registered address, the business scope (should include glass manufacturing or packaging), and the registration date. Cross-reference the company name and registration number at gsxt.gov.cn — China's National Enterprise Credit Information System, which is free and publicly accessible.
Companies legally exporting from China must be registered with China Customs. Ask for the customs registration number (海关注册编号) or export licence. A trading company will have this; a factory that claims to export but cannot provide it is either new, unlicensed, or not actually doing the exporting themselves.
ISO 9001 is the international quality management standard. A current (not expired) ISO 9001 certificate from a recognised certification body (SGS, Bureau Veritas, TÜV, Intertek) indicates the factory has documented quality processes. Check the certificate's expiry date and the scope — it should specifically cover glass bottle manufacturing, not just the company's office.
A factory tour takes 1–2 hours and tells you more than any document. You want to see: the furnace and forming line (is it actually running?), the annealing oven, the decoration department (silk screen and hot stamp equipment), the QC inspection line, and the warehouse. If you cannot visit in person, a 30-minute live video call walking through the factory floor is the next best option. A factory that declines both is not a factory you should trust with your money.
Before placing a bulk order, order a paid sample. This is your quality benchmark. If the sample is excellent, your production run should match it — and you have the sample to hold them accountable. If the factory says samples are not available, that is a serious warning sign.
After production and before final payment, hire a third-party inspector. SGS, Bureau Veritas, QIMA, and Intertek all operate inspection services in China. The inspector visits the factory, checks your order against your specification, and sends you a report with photos. Cost: $200–$350. If the inspection fails, you withhold final payment until corrections are made. This is standard practice for any first order over $3,000.
Our business licence, ISO 9001 certificate, and customs registration are available on request. We welcome factory visits to our facility in Luxi Industrial Park, Pingxiang, Jiangxi. Third-party PSI inspections are available for all production runs — we work with SGS, Bureau Veritas, and QIMA regularly.
Request the factory's business licence (营业执照), export licence, and any relevant certifications (ISO 9001, BSCI). Cross-reference the company name on the licence against Alibaba, Global Sources, or the Chinese National Enterprise Credit Information System at gsxt.gov.cn. A genuine manufacturer will have all three documents readily available.
A factory (manufacturer) owns production equipment and employs workers who make the product. A trading company sources from multiple factories and resells. For glass bottles, a direct factory gives you better pricing, more customisation flexibility, and a single point of accountability. The giveaway is the business licence — factories are classified as 生产型企业 (production enterprise); trading companies as 贸易公司 (trade company).
ISO 9001 (quality management system) is the baseline. For export to the EU, look for SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Intertek audit reports. For cosmetic packaging specifically, ask for a material safety data sheet (MSDS) confirming food-grade or cosmetic-grade glass composition. BSCI or Sedex audits indicate ethical manufacturing practices.
Yes — factory visits are standard practice for orders above $10,000. Most Jiangxi glass factories welcome buyer visits to their production facilities in Pingxiang or Jingdezhen. If you cannot visit in person, arrange a live video tour of the production floor, warehouse, and QC lab. A legitimate factory will be happy to show you everything.
A PSI is a third-party quality inspection conducted at the factory after production is complete but before shipment. Inspectors from SGS, Bureau Veritas, or QIMA check against your specification: dimensions, decoration quality, packaging, and quantity. PSI typically costs $200–$350 per inspection and is the single most effective tool for catching quality issues before goods leave China.
