Research potential suppliers of {{product_and_specifications}} in {{sourcing_country_or_region}} for a {{business_type}} ordering about {{order_quantity}} units at a time. Use public sources such as supplier websites, trade directories, certification bodies, and reputable news, and cite each fact with its source and date. Never describe a supplier as verified or reliable; report only what the sources show, and write 'not found' for missing details. Return: (1) a shortlist table of five to eight suppliers with columns for name, location, main products, stated certifications, minimum order quantity, typical lead time, export experience, and source; (2) red flags, such as prices far below market, pressure to pay by unusual methods, or refusal of factory audits; (3) a vetting checklist covering business registration, samples, audits, references, payment terms, and trade terms such as Incoterms; (4) twelve questions to send each supplier; (5) a low-risk plan for a first order. Recommend confirming contracts, import rules, and duties with a qualified trade advisor or customs broker.
