Verified supplier

It is earned, not bought. A supplier gets it only after our team has reviewed their documents, and it shows which certificates were checked.

Business registration or trade licence, matched to the company name on the profile
Certificates the supplier lists, such as ISO 9001, organic, FDA or export licences
Expiry dates: an expired certificate is taken off the profile automatically
Buyer reports: we review every report and suspend listings that break the rules

Importers, retailers, brands and procurement teams sourcing in bulk.
