# How does nearshoring supplier discovery work?

Start from the official registry of the country, not from a list of companies that advertise. Count the plants by activity and region, search by the process you need, and narrow by place and size. In Mexico, read the export programme on the record. Then check the tax ID against official lists before you call. A registry gives a starting list. The visit and the audit still decide.
