SERVICE OVERVIEW
Catch issues before they become expensive shipment problems.
Our inspection support is built around your approved sample, product requirements, packaging details, and acceptance criteria. We document findings clearly so you can make an informed decision before final payment or shipment.
Inspection options
- Pre-production inspection (PPI): review materials, components, and setup before production begins
- During-production inspection (DUPRO): identify defect trends while there is still time to correct them
- Pre-shipment inspection (PSI): check completed goods, quantity, workmanship, packaging, labeling, and key measurements using an agreed sampling approach
- Container loading supervision (CLS): verify carton counts, loading condition, cargo securing, and visible transport-risk issues
Reports you can act on
We provide photos, observations, quantities, and a clear summary of the issues found. Where a correction is needed, we can coordinate follow-up with the supplier before release.

Questions about quality control & inspection services
When should I arrange a pre-shipment inspection?
Plan inspection before goods are released, with time for supplier corrections and any recheck. Confirm readiness with the factory and agree the sampling approach, checks, and reporting scope before the visit.
Does a product inspection replace laboratory testing?
No. Inspection checks agreed aspects such as workmanship, quantity, dimensions, and packaging. Laboratory testing or certification may be needed for specific materials, safety, or destination-market requirements; clarify that scope separately.
