Pre-shipment inspection involves scheduling an on-site factory visit near production completion, checking a representative random sample, verifying quantity and packaging, then documenting everything in a photo report before deciding whether to approve shipping.
Why Pre-Shipment Inspection Is Essential
Once a shipment leaves the factory, correcting any quality or quantity issue becomes extremely costly or impossible. An on-site inspection before shipping is your last line of defense against receiving goods that don't match what was agreed.
Steps in the Inspection Process
Schedule the inspection
A date is set with the factory near production completion.
On-site visit
The inspection team visits the factory on the scheduled date.
Random sample check
Instead of inspecting every unit, a representative sample is checked against agreed standards.
Quantity and packaging verification
Confirming the actual count and the integrity of packaging and labels match the spec.
Photo report
Every observation is documented with photos and a clear written report.
What Happens If an Issue Is Found?
If a problem is discovered, we coordinate with the factory to fix it before shipping, or decide not to approve shipment of the defective batch until it's resolved.
