PRE SHIPMENT INSPECTION

How to make sure I will get what I paid for ?

What type of defect is my production suffering from ?

What is the % of defective products in my shipment ?

Are my products functionning correctly ?

Are my shipping marks, packing and labeling correct ?

 

When? The Pre Shipment Inspection (PSI), also called Final Random Inspection (FRI) or Finished Quality Control, will take place when at least 80% of the products are ready and packed into export cartons. You can of course specify when booking online that you want 100% of the products to be ready for this inspection.

 

Where? The final random inspection or pre shipment inspection will take place at the factory; anywhere in China. In some case it could take place at the forwarder's premises or at the pier.

 

What? The Pre Shipment Inspection (PSI) covers all possible on site checks of your products:

  • Product appearance (AQL) inspection
  • Workmanship inspection.
  • Safety and function inspection.
  • Quantity inspection.
  • Assortment inspection.
  • Colors inspection.
  • Size & measurements inspection.
  • Weight inspection.
  • Functionality inspection.
  • Accessories inspection.
  • Labeling & logos inspection.
  • Packaging & packing (including the shipping marks) inspection.
  • + any other special requirements you may have...

Our team of experienced Chinese or Western inspectors chooses a specific quantity of completed products - quantity according to AQL tables - and inspects them according to your specifications, requirements and according to our protocols and expertise. After completion of the inspection, a fully detailed inspection report with pictures and comments is sent to you. Then you are able to Accept or Reject your shipment online.

 

Why? Because it is simply essential to check your products before the shipment! And this even if you work with a trading company or with an agent... Indeed, your vendor, whether he is a factory, a trading company or an agent, he will have no interest to inform you of any potential or real quality issue...

 

Trust is good... But control is better !
