Supplymo
12 free tools to check a China supplier before you pay
You wire money to a 1688 supplier, then find the real cost — duty, VAT, freight, prep, MOQ — after it lands and the margin is gone. I built 12 free tools out of the checks our team runs in Yiwu: HS code & import duty, landed cost, CBM with a 3D container load check, shipping comparison, MOQ break-even, supplier risk screening, restricted goods, and Incoterms 2020. No signup. Estimates, not fixed-rate promises.
Hey PH 👋 I'm Liam, based in Yiwu, China, where a lot of this stuff actually ships from.
Our team here does sourcing and QC for people importing from China. We kept watching the same thing happen: someone finds a product on 1688 or Alibaba, the unit price looks great, they wire the money, and the real cost only shows up later. Duty they didn't classify. VAT nobody mentioned. Freight priced on volumetric weight, not actual weight. Prep work they didn't budget. By then the margin is gone.
So I built the checks our team runs internally into free tools:
• HS code & import duty — find a starting point, then see the official tariff path for your destination • Landed cost — the all-in number before you pay, not after • CBM + 3D container load check — it will tell you when your cartons don't actually fit (that one surprises people) • MOQ break-even, supplier risk screening, restricted goods, Incoterms 2020, and a before-payment checklist
No signup, no paywall. One thing I'm deliberate about: these give estimates plus what still needs verifying with official sources. Customs isn't something anyone should promise a fixed number on, and tools that pretend otherwise cause real damage.
Would love your feedback — especially: what's the check you wish you'd run before your first China order?
