Supplier background check · Example Agro Exports, Gujarat
Every line is looked up on the official register, not taken from the supplier's own documents.
| Checked | How | What we found | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Importer-exporter code (IEC) | Looked up on the DGFT register | Active. Name matches the quotation. | OK |
| FSSAI licence | Looked up on FSSAI's FoSCoS licence search | Central licence, active. Kind of business includes export. | OK |
| Product category on the licence | Compared with the product you are buying | Dehydrated vegetables not listed among the licensed food categories. | Fix |
| GST registration | Looked up on the GST portal | Active. Registered address matches the FSSAI record. | OK |
| Factory address | Matched across the records and checked on the map | An industrial unit at the stated address. | OK |
Our view: go ahead to samples, with one point to settle.
Ask the supplier to show that dehydrated vegetables are covered by their FSSAI licence, or to add the category, before you sign. Everything else checks out on the registers.
