How to verify New Jersey businesses?
Post 1 of 8
I am about to import cosmetics from a wholesaler in New Jersey. What certificates do New Jersey businesses need to export and become a wholesaler and is what are New Jersey business registration codes called?


Have a nice day

My friends, like Wilhelm, FraudWatcher, and others have not been present for some time, we get tired and get all sorts of threats from companies or inviduals whose schemes are being foiled, which is our rewards for doing the work of policemen.


Here are some tips where you can help yourself, rather than being s -fed.

  1. Search the Internet for company name, phone number and address verification. Quick and easy assessible way:
  • The Yellow Pages.
  • Business Directories and white pages.
  • Map and address search.
  • Zip Codes or Postal Codes search.

2. Make the phone call to verify and confirm the phone number.
  • Business Registration number, search the Directory.
  • Write a fax to the company, get translators in the language address to the Chief Executive Officer.
  • Check the company profile against what they are offering to you.

3. Get second opinions from people who know the country well.
  1. Before sending money by telegraphic transfer or Western Union, check the account holder name, address and Acc. No. Does it belong to the firm or an individual?

For your case, you can check the Yellow Pages of NJ, USA.

In general, You don't really need to worry about it in USA.

Or you can pay by Credit card.

Not all Credit Cards are accepted by US companies, only well know banks issue, not the type of Credit Card.


Yes, if you pay by Credit Card and if there is some disputes on cases of non-delivery or default of the agreement (verbal or written), in case of Internet transactions, mostly written and by emails, you can stop payment by making complaints to the bank on your billings.


The bank will investigate and mitigate on this matter and if found to be true, they will refund the money and send warning to the merchant. Upon receiving the warning, if the merchant continues to default transactions in manner not proper to good business practice, the bank and the credit card company will invoke the facility given to the merchant.


It is a safe way to trade by Credit Card, however the onus lies in the hands of the buyer. You must be sure that the merchant is genuine and not spoofs before sending your Credit Card details. There are the measures to take to ensure security:
  1. Check for TRUST Certificate and verify its authenticity.
  2. Never send sensitive information over the emails, always use other methods. Never send your Credit Card number over the email, because they can be intercepted by evesdropper, spy wares and may also end up in the hands of non-designated receipients.
  3. Always look out for padlock icon at the right bottom corner of the monitor for SSL lock security.
  4. Send small amount of money on Credit Card purchases, amount should never exceeds the credit limits of the CC. Not more than US$10,000.
  5. Make phone contacts and ensure the receiving party is physically there.
  6. Make sure you are crediting to a company name and account, not individuals. (unlikely for individuals to draw money from the credit card if s/he is not a registered member.)
  7. Above all, just like what is printed on the US Dollar Note : "In God We Trust." not in man, nor in the company, or organisation.

Surveyors are very expensive, and if your quantity is small, does not justify the cost.


Anyway, you do not need it for the companies in USA, they are very informative and transparent. But always apply Murphy's law on your trade.


Go to website (secured website):


http://www.nj.gov/njbusiness/international/zones/locations.shtml


From there you can search for the information you are looking for.

One of the easiest methods is to go to the better business website which is www.bbb.org , instead of specifying alocation click on the option to go to the nation website and search for the company there. Now, not all companies are listed and it can take quite some time to get listed so you can also check with the state of New Jersey at http://www.nj.gov/njbgs/services.html but again, this only works for corporations in NJ.

The larger issue you will face is whether or not they are able to secure all of the forms required by Aussie Customs. You should find out from your local customs and health departments what certificates are required and make certain that the wholesaler in NJ can provide them.

I have found providing certificates for foreign governments to be a weak point for many American exporters as they really don't understand your local laws any more than you understand ours! Copies of the required documents make it easier for everyone to get the requried certifications, or to know that the required certifications are not available. I have done quite a bit of exports from the US of goods (Both US origin an re-exports of foreign goods) and I can tell you that the main reason for honest business to have shipment failures is a lack of understanding of laws and requirements in the improting country.

Hope this helps.

New Jersey requires registration with the state to aquire a business license in order to begin purchasing or selling wholesale. This way they monitor sales tax that is generated from sales within the state. Many however have web based businesses not collecting sales tax from their customers throughout the rest of United States.

Ask for proof of registration where they must produce a certificate of registration or business license. As far as I know there are no codes per say. Just resale certificates that one must file periodically to pay taxes on taxables within the jurisdiction of the state. We have tax exemptions but I don't beleive cosmetics is one of those. That, however should not effect you purchasing wholesale from them.

Hope that helps!
