Sample output. Registry matches are evidence to verify, not a guarantee.
Evidence, not promises · 증거
When a candidate's registered Korean company name matches official records, the evidence is pinned to its card — so you start due diligence from government data, not marketing claims.
MFDS · 식약처
Cosmetics, quasi-drug, health-food, and medical-device registries reveal whether a company actually manufactures — or only distributes.
HACCP · CGMP
Food-safety and cosmetics-GMP certification records are matched from official data — separated from self-reported claims.
NTS · 국세청
A live National Tax Service lookup confirms the business registration is active today — the fastest way to screen out ghost companies.
Registry matches are surfaced automatically when records align, and shown as evidence for your own verification — never as a guarantee or endorsement. Not every company appears in a registry; fashion and general goods have no equivalent public registry.
What Korea makes best · 한국의제조
Each category is matched against the registries that govern it — so a K-Beauty candidate is checked as a cosmetics manufacturer, and a K-Food candidate as a certified food maker.
Tile marks are drawn in the letterforms of the 1446 Hunminjeongeum Haerye edition — 화 cosmetics · 식 food · 패 fashion · 의 medical · 건 health · 의약외품 quasi-drugs.
The sourcing gap · 간극
Supplier directories give you names. They do not clearly tell you who manufactures, which claims need evidence, whether the MOQ fits, or what to ask in the first email.
01
Review public signals that suggest factory capability, trading activity, or an unclear operating role.
02
See certification claims beside their source and the exact documents you still need to request.
03
Separate public MOQ information, estimates, and unknowns instead of treating them as equally reliable.
04
Start with a product-specific English RFQ rather than a generic request for a catalog and price list.

FAQ · 문답
Is GloSource AI a sourcing agent?
No. GloSource AI prepares research, supplier-candidate comparisons, and RFQ drafts. You contact, verify, negotiate with, and pay suppliers directly.
Are the suppliers verified?
No. GloSource AI surfaces public evidence and risk signals for first-pass review. Every supplier, certificate, bank account, sample, and manufacturing claim requires independent verification.
How do you distinguish a manufacturer from a trader?
We review public signals such as OEM/ODM language, factory addresses, production capabilities, company registrations, export listings, and company-site evidence. The result is a signal, not a legal determination.
Which certifications do you check?
Depending on the product and available evidence, a report may surface ISO 22716, cosmetics GMP/CGMP, ISO 9001, MFDS-related manufacturing information, and vegan or cruelty-free claims. Confirm every claim with the supplier and issuing body.
Will the report include MOQ and pricing?
Only when publicly available or reasonably supported. Estimates are labeled as estimates. Unknown information is turned into an RFQ question rather than invented.
Can you guarantee US or EU compliance?
No. Regulatory suitability depends on the formula, claims, testing, labeling, responsible parties, and target market. Consult qualified regulatory professionals before sale.
What should I do after receiving a shortlist?
Contact at least three candidates, request company and certification documents, compare samples, verify legal and bank identities, confirm formula ownership and testing, and use a written manufacturing agreement.
