Situation

For stalled orders, failed inspections, confusing supplier answers, payment exposure or shipments that need a structured recovery path before more money or time is committed.

China-side actions

  1. Build a dated evidence bundle from contracts, chats, invoices and photos.
  2. Separate supplier excuses from verifiable production or shipment facts.
  3. Contact the supplier with clear recovery questions and deadline language.
  4. Compare rework, reinspection, replacement, discount and exit paths.
  5. Produce a buyer decision memo with loss-control boundaries.

Client materials

  • Contract, PO and invoice trail
  • Payment status
