1. How does NEXUS verify genuine Vietnam manufacturers versus shell trading intermediaries?

Every shortlisted supplier undergoes physical ERC/IRC license verification, industrial-zone Land Use Right & power-bill capacity cross-checks, unannounced production-floor audits in Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Long An, Bac Ninh, or Hai Phong, and open-book CostX BOM breakdowns.

2. How do you protect tooling IP and tie milestone payments to zero-defect shipments?

All CAD drawings and molds are governed by bilingual NNN (Non-Disclosure, Non-Use, Non-Circumvention) agreements enforceable under Vietnam law/VIAC, with final balance release strictly contingent on passing our signed ISO 2859-1 AQL 2.5 certificate and tamper-evident container seal video.
