Quality Inspection Services
Why Should I perform a quality inspection?
Quality inspections, or product inspections, will check the status and quality of your goods, during all steps of production in order to ensure that all products meet your quality standards. The quality inspection will help you to make sure that all your requirements, specifications and criteria you have given to a factory are being taken into account and implemented properly.The quality inspections are performed according to international quality control standards, but we also perform quality inspections as per your instructions and criteria and according to our expertise and long experience.
Which inspection should I choose?
Ideally, booking product inspections at all stages of the production will ensure maximum protection. In order to save on costs, most buyers purchasing low to medium volumes will only choose to inspect at 2 or 3 steps of the production, (our most popular inspections are the During Production and the Pre Shipment Inspection). We can work with you to help you determine the best option for your company.
What should I do in the case of a failed inspection?
Note than ONLY YOU can accept or reject a shipment, so you get to decide how many defects are acceptable. You should study the product inspection report in detail and discuss results and future actions with your factory. You should also consider our defect sorting service on a specific sampling size or on the full quantity.

Pre-Production Inspections
We will inspect raw materials and components before production begins. After product samples are provided, we will verify that the factory has ordered the correct materials, components, and accessories. We will also randomly select and inspect a sample of partially produced products for potential defects, then report our findings to you. If necessary, we can provide the factory with the technical advice necessary to improve product quality and to minimize the chance of defects during production.
During Production Inspections
During Production Inspections are ideal for shipments of substantial quantities; product lines with continuous production; strict requirements for on-time shipments; and as a follow-up if poor results were found during Pre-Production Inspection. Normally, During Production Inspections are carried out when 10-15% of the merchandise is completed. We will inspect the production batch and examine products in the line for possible defects. At this point we will identify deviations, if any, and offer advice on corrective measures that will ensure uniformity of product and quality. We will also re-check any defects discovered during Pre-Production Inspection and confirm that they have been rectified.
Final Random Inspections
Final Random Inspections can begin only after production has been completed and all merchandise is ready and packed for shipment. Through a statistical method set by industry standards, we will sample products to verify product safety, quantity, workmanship, function, color, size, packing, and more. This ensures that your product is consistent and compliant with all country, industry, or otherwise-specified requirements and that no critical major or minor defects appear.
Loading Supervision
During Loading Supervision, our representative will closely monitor the loading process, verify product quantity, and ensure proper handling of the cargo. Upon completion, the container(s) will be sealed with our tape as proof of compliance. This service significantly reduces the risk associated with importing cargo.
