Product Quality & Workmanship
Inspectors check the overall product quality and workmanship, identifying visible defects such as scratches, poor finishing, material issues, or assembly errors that may impact usability or brand reputation.
Quantity Verification
We confirm the total number of finished and packed units to ensure the shipment matches the purchase order and packing list. This quantity verification helps avoid shortages or shipment discrepancies.
Product Specifications Check
Products are measured and evaluated against approved product specifications, including size, materials, color, branding, and labeling requirements.
Functional Testing
Where applicable, inspectors perform functional testing to verify that the product operates correctly and meets expected performance standards.
Packaging & Labeling Verification
We review packaging quality, carton integrity, labeling accuracy, and barcode readability to ensure goods are properly prepared for transport and distribution.
AQL Random Sampling
Products are selected as random samples using the Acceptance Quality Limit (AQL) method aligned with ISO 2859-1 and ANSI standards, ensuring the inspection reflects the overall production process and manufacturing batch quality.
After the inspection, you receive a detailed inspection report with defect photos, inspection findings, and minor, major, and critical defects clearly identified. The report also includes the inspection date, shipment verification results, and recommendations if products are found non-compliant.
When Should You Run a Pre-Shipment Inspection Service in China?
A pre-shipment inspection (also known as a final random inspection) should be scheduled when the order is fully produced and shipment preparation has started.
Typical conditions to run the inspection:
100% of production is completed and goods are ready for verification
At least 80% of the products are packed in export cartons
Before releasing the final payment to the supplier
When you need to verify product quality and workmanship against agreed quality standards
To confirm quantity verification against the purchase order
To check packaging, labeling, and barcode accuracy before shipment
When you want to detect quality issues and allow the factory time for corrective actions
Scheduling the inspection at this stage ensures your products meet product specifications and shipment requirements before entering the supply chain, while maintaining control over the quality control process.
