Before you trust our data, verify us
Cheery Supply Chain is a sourcing-data business operated by Weihai Xiyue Fishing Tackle.
- The cross-check anchor is our Alibaba.com International store, a third-party platform we do not control.
- A platform badge proves the company exists and trades; it does not prove factory capacity or color consistency.
- We would rather you check us than trust us. It is the same standard we apply to factories.
Every supplier record here is our claim about someone else. This page is the other direction: how you check that we are real, without taking our word for it.
How do you verify a supplier's supplier?
Alibaba.com International Store
Weihai Xiyue Fishing Tackle
Match these three things yourself, in this order:
- Legal name. Our company is Weihai Xiyue Fishing Tackle. The store's registered company name should correspond to it. A store trading under a different entity is the single most common thing buyers miss.
- What the store sells. It should be fishing tackle — lures, rods, accessories. A store that also sells unrelated categories has a different supply base than the one described here.
- How long it has traded. Years on platform and transaction history are third-party signals we cannot edit. Read them as context, not as a quality grade.
If all three match, our sourcing data is being published by the entity it claims to be. If they do not match, treat this site as unverified and tell us.
What does each layer of verification actually prove?
| Check | Who performs it | What it proves | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platform store & entity | Alibaba.com | The company exists, is registered, and trades under that name | Production capacity, consistency, or that your order will be made well |
| Our 4 verification gates | Cheery Supply Chain | Registration, main business, export records and a direct interview for each published factory | That the factory is right for your specification — that needs your sample |
| Your own order | You | Whether the specification, colorway and hardware hold on a real production run | Anything about future orders from the same factory |
How big is the Chinese fishing tackle export market?
| Measure | 2024 | 2023 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| All fishing tackle (HS 9507) | US$1.93 bn | US$1.77 bn | +9.0% |
| Fishing rods (HS 950710) | US$0.66 bn | US$0.62 bn | +6.5% |
| Fish hooks (HS 950720) | US$0.11 bn | US$0.11 bn | flat |
| Destination countries served | 196 | 197 | -1 |
| Largest single destination | US$546 M | US$445 M | +23% |
Rods account for about 34% of the total and hooks about 6%. The largest single destination takes roughly 28% of the 2024 total — which is why the export markets already on a supplier record are worth reading before you ask for a price.
Who supplies the United States?
| Source | 2024 import value | Share of total |
|---|---|---|
| China | US$538 M | 59% |
| Japan | US$74 M | 8% |
| Malaysia | US$53 M | 6% |
| Viet Nam | US$42 M | 5% |
| All other sources (65 countries) | US$199 M | 22% |
| Total US imports | US$906 M | 100% |
The United States bought US$906 M of fishing tackle under HS 9507 in 2024 from 69 source countries. China supplied US$538 M of it — 59% of the total, and roughly 7 times the next largest source. That concentration is why specification discipline matters more than factory discovery: the factories are not hard to find, the comparable quotation is.
