I hope this question is OK to ask. When purchasing from MIC, all the suppliers seem to require a business name when initiating an order. Do you just make up a fake one?
Thanks

I think I saw a post somewhere where a guy just made up a company name, and the Chinese supplier didn't even check it. But I don't know if there are any risks to it - like, will your customs actually check if the company exists or not?

I believe them asking for a company name is just a 'mandatory' regulation so that they can tick a box. I highly doubt they will check if a company actually exists

I'm concerned because the expiry date on the MIC one was less than a month.

I made up a fake one. It took a while to arrive and it was quite the hassle but I have it in hand since this morning. It's unmarked, mislabeled, 500gm. Have to test this if I'm to use it.

I finally found MiC and my concern was about the company name too. Good to know!
