PROCUREMENT GUIDE
How to Verify Tissue Certificates and Test Claims
Verify a tissue certificate or test claim by checking the legal holder, issuing body, document number, validity period, scope, tested material, production site or route, destination-market relevance and the exact SKU being quoted. A real document can still be inapplicable to a product if any of those links are missing.

DIRECT ANSWERS
Questions buyers ask before moving forward.
01Should I compare only the unit price?+
No. A useful comparison aligns the physical product, retail and export packaging, MOQ, delivery basis, destination and included services.
02What if a field is not yet decided?+
Mark it as to be confirmed and ask suppliers to state the assumption used in their quotation rather than silently filling the gap.
03Can VELUPLY review an existing specification?+
Yes. Share the specification, pack reference, target market and quantity so open fields can be identified before a quotation is prepared.
