A catalogue shows what a supplier wants to sell. Due diligence establishes who will contract, what will actually be supplied, which evidence applies and how non-conforming goods are controlled.

Why the registration record shows two names: KAISTEEL LIMITED (BRN 78595271) was registered in Hong Kong in August 2025 under an unrelated name that never traded and never opened a bank account. It was renamed to KAISTEEL LIMITED in August 2026 specifically to launch this brand for international trade. Ownership was unchanged throughout — this is an administrative rename, not a change of control, and both names appear on the same registration when verified at the Companies Registry.
