Service Overview
Pre-Shipment Inspection
Pre-shipment inspection is a critical step in international trade that ensures the quality and compliance of goods before they are shipped to the buyer. Pre-shipment inspections typically occur when 80% of production is complete and the goods are placed in shipping cartons for verification of your purchase specifications.
Pre-shipment inspection serves as a final test to assess product quality, packaging, product labeling, and carton markings. This ensures that items are properly packed and suitable for their intended use. This process helps to identify and address any issues with the goods before they are shipped, reducing the risk of costly returns or rejections at the destination.
