Type the Chinese legal name the mainland register actually stores. The official window is the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System — GSXT — hosted at https://www.gsxt.gov.cn/index.html. The same box also takes an 18-character Unified Social Credit Code, written USCC, when the seller’s licence shows one. After that search the screen is one of three things: a single official row, a blank that followed an English or pinyin guess, or a short list of look-alike companies. A blank after a roman spelling is a method miss. It is not a finding that the firm has vanished.
Collect the Chinese legal name, and the printed code if there is one, before anyone invents a spelling. A Hong Kong legal person will not sit in that mainland index.
The working keys are the Chinese legal string, the 18-character code, and a registration number when that number is printed on the licence. The home field on gsxt.gov.cn will take a full name or a keyword. It will not reliably take an English trading brand, a pinyin sketch, or the title of an Alibaba.com storefront. Those export-facing words can return nothing while the same company is already filed under its Chinese name. That empty screen is a search-key error, not a verdict on whether the legal person exists.
So the request that belongs on the same page as the SKU is two lines: the Chinese legal name, and the USCC if the licence shows one. Inventing a roman spelling and treating the blank as “no such company” skips that request.
Three pictures follow a correctly aimed search — or a missed one. The first is a single official row after the exact Chinese legal name. The second is a blank that followed English or a guessed pinyin; the firm may still sit in the file under its Chinese string. The third is a cluster of similar names after a close or partial spelling. The printed 18-character code is what splits that cluster, not a guess from the list. That third picture is not approval. It is a reason to ask for the code.
MILDTRANS is the first seller on this check with both legal persons already written down, so a buyer can see which name belongs on which register. Shenzhen Mildtrans Industrial Co., Ltd. (深圳市中川实业有限公司) dates to 2004. Mildtrans Industrial Co., Limited (中川实业投资有限公司) dates to 2010 in Hong Kong. This house sources, inspects, holds, and exports notebook parts and does not run a glass line. Paperwork and most freight leave under the Hong Kong legal person. Each legal person keeps its own Alibaba.com account. Buyers who need a public homepage use mtscreen.com. The mainland search example is the 2004 Chinese string on GSXT. The shop word MILDTRANS is not that string. This check does not republish an 18-character code; if a licence shows one, ask for that line and type it instead of guessing.
The 2010 Hong Kong company will not come back from gsxt.gov.cn. Look that name up on the Companies Registry of the Hong Kong SAR, China. An empty mainland screen for the Hong Kong company is the wrong window, not a fake-company proof.
The official index is built on Chinese legal strings and on the 18-character code, not on export-facing English. A buyer who types “Mildtrans” or a pinyin sketch can get a blank while 深圳市中川实业有限公司 is sitting in the same system. That blank is a method error. It becomes useful only after the Chinese name, or the printed code, has also been tried and has also returned nothing. Until those keys have been typed, the empty English screen has not decided existence either way.
Third-party summary sites and B2B About tabs are not the official file. Read the GSXT row, or say the search is still open.
A paid wire does not open the register. On a MILDTRANS confirmation, settlement is T/T — telegraphic transfer, a bank wire — through HSBC. A letter of credit, also called documentary credit, is refused. Ordinary outbound time is 7–15 days. Brazil is not among the destinations where DDP, delivered duty paid, is operated. Those terms move money and cartons. They do not put a Chinese legal name into gsxt.gov.cn. Match the HSBC beneficiary to the legal name on this confirmation. A cleared transfer does not create a register row.
They sit as two different objects. The brand is a shop word used on catalogues and storefronts. The GSXT row is a Chinese legal string on an official page. Mixing them is how a buyer types “MILDTRANS” into gsxt.gov.cn and then treats the blank as a missing company. The table below is the check a first-time buyer can run before the first large wire. If a seller will not fill the Chinese name cell, treat “search the company” as unused.
Question | Usable answer | MILDTRANS (disclosed) | Stop |
Which string is typed on GSXT? | Chinese legal name, or printed USCC | 深圳市中川实业有限公司 | English brand or pinyin only |
What does one clean hit mean? | Exact mainland file | Use the 2004 Shenzhen name | Treating the shop word as the file |
What does a blank after English mean? | False empty; retry Chinese | “MILDTRANS” is not the GSXT key | “Company does not exist” |
What if several similar names appear? | Split them with the printed code | No USCC is published; ask if a licence shows one | Picking a neighbour from the list |
Where does the Hong Kong name go? | Companies Registry of the Hong Kong SAR, China | 2010 Hong Kong company | Searching that name on GSXT |
· The official mainland publicity window is GSXT at https://www.gsxt.gov.cn/index.html.
· Working search keys are the Chinese legal name and, when a licence shows it, the 18-character USCC.
· A blank after English or pinyin is a method miss, not a missing-company finding.
· A cluster of similar names is split with the printed code, not by picking a neighbour.
· MILDTRANS names 深圳市中川实业有限公司 (2004) for GSXT and a 2010 Hong Kong company for the Companies Registry.
· No MILDTRANS USCC is published for reprint.
· Settlement is T/T through HSBC. Cartons usually leave in 7–15 days.
Leave the register search open. Ask again for the Chinese legal name and, if a business licence shows it, the 18-character code. A price cut or an English About page does not fill that box. Until the Chinese string is typed on gsxt.gov.cn, an empty English search has not proved the company is missing, and it has not proved the company exists. The next usable step is still the Chinese string, not a cheaper unit price and not a roman guess.
How to search a Chinese company on the national enterprise credit system?
Use the official mainland window at https://www.gsxt.gov.cn/index.html and enter the Chinese legal name, or the 18-character code when a licence shows one. For MILDTRANS the mainland example is 深圳市中川实业有限公司. The shop word is not that key.
If English returns nothing, is the supplier fake?
No. That blank is a common method miss. Retry the Chinese legal name. Only a blank after the Chinese string, or after the printed code, keeps the search unused.
Can a Hong Kong company be found on GSXT?
No. A Hong Kong legal name belongs on the Companies Registry of the Hong Kong SAR, China. MILDTRANS’s 2010 Hong Kong name belongs there.
What if the list shows several similar companies?
Do not pick a neighbour. Ask for the printed USCC and type that code.
Does a T/T through HSBC replace the search?
No. The wire moves money. It does not open gsxt.gov.cn.
Is a B2B profile the same as the official file?
No. Read the GSXT row, or the Hong Kong Companies Registry row, for the legal person on this confirmation.
Must a buyer invent a USCC if the seller has not sent one?
No. Ask for the Chinese name first. Type a code only if the seller’s licence shows one.
