Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our pre-shipment inspection services.

When should a pre-shipment inspection be conducted?

It is recommended to conduct a pre-shipment inspection when production is approximately 80-100% complete, just before packaging and shipping. This allows issues to be identified and corrected before products leave the factory.

How long does a pre-shipment inspection take?

The duration of an inspection depends on the complexity and quantity of products to be inspected. In general, a standard inspection can take a full day. For large orders or complex products, the inspection may extend over several days.

What are the acceptance criteria during an inspection?

Acceptance criteria are defined based on international standards, importing country regulations, and client specifications. They may include aspects such as visual quality, dimensions, functional performance, safety, and packaging compliance.

What happens if issues are detected during the inspection?

If issues are detected, we will provide you with a detailed report with photos and descriptions of the non-conformities. You can then decide to ask the manufacturer to correct the issues and proceed with a re-inspection, or accept the products as they are if the defects are minor.
