Evidence by Buying Stage
What to Confirm Before You Move Forward
| Stage | Evidence to Request | Where to Verify |
|---|---|---|
| Before first quotation | Registration numbers (IEC, APEDA, FSSAI) and scope mapping to your product and destination. | /buyer-verification and /certificates |
| Before payment commitment | Product specification confirmation, packaging format, and Incoterm basis (FOB/CFR/CIF). | Product pages and enquiry confirmation |
| Before shipment dispatch | Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and applicable shipment certificates. | Export process and destination-specific documentation sequence |
For destination-specific checks, use our buyer pages for UAE, Singapore, Malaysia and Europe.
For internal procurement control templates, use the importer onboarding checklist and export risk-control framework.
Transparency standard: we do not publish fabricated testimonials or synthetic authority claims. See evidence and transparency policy for what is verified now versus what is pending real transaction history.
For supplier comparison, use how to evaluate Indian merchant exporters before final supplier selection.
How to run each stage
The table gives the evidence to ask for. These notes explain what to do with it.
- Before the first quotation
- Collect the registration numbers and check them with the issuing authorities. Map each registration to your product and destination, so you know what it does and does not cover.
- Before payment commitment
- Make sure the quotation states the product form, grade, packaging, quantity, Incoterm and port. Approve a sample against your specification, and agree which test reports you will receive.
- Before dispatch
- Check the invoice, packing list and certificate of origin against the goods and against each other. Confirm lot numbers and packing marks. Raise any mismatch before the cargo leaves.
What proof does not cover
- Registrations are not lot-level quality tests
- A valid registration shows the business is licensed. It does not show that a particular lot meets your specification. That needs a sample and, where relevant, a test report.
- Typical ranges are not guarantees
- Specifications shown on product pages are typical ranges. The figures that bind both sides are the ones written into your order.
- A checklist does not replace your own broker
- Your customs broker knows the destination rules. Use this framework alongside their advice, not instead of it.
