How to know if a supplier is legit?

[Taktik]

Hello,

I found a product, that I want to sell and now I am looking for a supplier. I already found a couple of possible suppliers, but I don't know, if they are the real manufacturers or just traders disguised as manufacturers or if they are legit at all.

I would like to know how to make sure that a company is a legit manufacturer (before buying from them). I already read the tips in Walter Hays Importing Book about due diligence, but I was wondering, if there are further ways, because sometimes I just don't get many or any information about a certain company.

Any tip will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Best,
Taktik
