Every grade comes with a clear action recommendation — so you know exactly what to do next.
A
Supplier has a strong multi-year export record, third-party factory audit, full certification stack, and a clean dispute history. Proceed with standard due diligence.
B
Reliable track record with one or two non-critical gaps such as an expired audit or a missing secondary certification. Request updated documentation before proceeding.
C
Multiple gaps identified — may include elevated dispute ratio, self-declared audits only, or limited export history. Require factory visit or third-party inspection before order.
D
Critical red flags detected — may include no verifiable registration, 100% upfront payment demand, refused samples, or significant dispute history. GTNChina does not work with D-grade suppliers.
