UK-facing supplier audit at a Chinese factory

For UK Importers

UKCA, Modern Slavery Act and PSTI evidence — captured at your Chinese factory.

Post-Brexit, UK importers carry the full liability for supplier compliance — without an EU buffer. We verify UKCA, MSA and PSTI evidence on the ground in China, so HMRC, OPSS and your board don't carry the risk.

Why UK buyers are exposed

Post-Brexit, the UK importer is the regulator's first phone call.

UKCA marking, the Modern Slavery Act statement, and the new PSTI regime for connected products all land on the importer of record. There is no EU distributor to share the burden.

OPSS and Trading Standards are actively pulling Chinese-origin SKUs from market and asking for the file. A supplier-issued PDF will not survive the request.

We collect the primary evidence in China — UKCA technical file, MSA tier-1/tier-2 verification, PSTI security statements — and hand you a UK-defensible supplier dossier.

What we cover for UK importers

Four UK regulatory tracks audited in one visit.

01

UKCA Marking & Technical File

  • UKCA / UKNI marking validity and approved-body identity
  • Technical file completeness for the actual SKU shipped
  • DoC alignment with UK designated standards
02

Modern Slavery Act Due Diligence

  • Tier-1 / tier-2 worker conditions documented on the floor
  • Recruitment-fee and dormitory checks against MSA red flags
  • Sub-tier exposure to Xinjiang-linked inputs
03

PSTI Security Compliance

  • Default-password and update-policy statements verified at source
  • Vulnerability-disclosure contact validated with the manufacturer
  • Security statement matched to the SKU on the carton
04

Post-Brexit Customs & Origin

  • Country-of-origin evidence for HMRC preferential-rate claims
  • Commodity code (UK Global Tariff) verified against actual product
  • Carton marking and importer-of-record details cross-checked
