Table of Contents

Company and Factory Profile

International brands may request company profile, factory profile, production capacity, product categories, certification list and export experience. These help buyers evaluate whether the manufacturer is suitable.

A clear profile creates confidence before sampling begins.

Certification and Compliance

International buyers may check Halal, GMP, ISO, HACCP, SMETA / Sedex, FSC packaging support and product safety testing. They may also request supplier questionnaires and compliance declarations.

Certifications help reduce buyer uncertainty.

Export and Documentation Readiness

Export-ready manufacturers should be able to support CFS, COO, COA, product specification, ingredient list, nutrition facts, product label review and lab test reports depending on product category.

Good documentation makes international import handling easier.
