Sourcing Reliable Paper Mills — 7 Red Flags to Avoid

On Alibaba and open trade directories, 20-30% of 'paper mills' are actually brokers or scams. Here are 7 red flags every buyer should watch for.

1. No physical address or mill photos — real mills publish everything. 2. Request for 100% advance TT — always insist on LC or partial payment. 3. Prices too good to be true — usually a bait-and-switch. 4. No mill test certificate offered — non-negotiable for real mills. 5. Refusing third-party inspection — huge red flag. 6. Different bank account than company name — classic scam signature. 7. Pressure to close quickly — real mills don't operate that way.
