How do I verify a Chinese shoe factory (audit and QC)?
Verification: request the business licence and export records, book a live video walk-through of the line, order a sample, and commission a third-party pre-shipment inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek) using an AQL sampling plan before the balance is paid.
We support third-party inspections at our belts and can share our own in-line QC checklist (upper material, bonding/stitching, sole flex, sizing consistency, packaging).
