Your last line of defense
before goods leave China.
A comprehensive final inspection of finished goods — covering quality, quantity, packaging compliance, and regulatory documentation — before you pay the balance and before the container is sealed.
By the time the container lands,
your leverage is gone.
Once goods leave China, disputing quality, quantity, or compliance issues becomes a slow, expensive, and often fruitless process. The moment to act is before the ship departs — and before the balance is paid.
"FBA rejected my entire shipment. Wrong label format, wrong barcode placement. The factory said it was fine. It wasn't."
"I ordered 500 units. I received 463. The factory said the rest were "in transit." They never arrived."
"The CE certificate they sent was for a different product model. Customs flagged it. Three weeks of delays and legal fees followed."
"Quality was 80% fine. But 20% defective units mixed into the cartons meant our customer rejected the whole pallet."
Everything that can go wrong at shipment — checked.
Six dimensions of pre-shipment verification, photographed and documented. Pass or Fail report within 24 hours.
-
AQL Statistical Sampling Inspection
Industry-standard random sampling to detect defects and calculate the overall defect rate against your acceptance criteria.
-
Packaging & Carton Marking Check
Verify outer carton labeling, master carton dimensions, stacking strength, and shipping mark accuracy.
-
Label & Barcode Compliance Audit
Confirm labels, barcodes, and inner packaging comply with destination market requirements — including FBA-specific standards.
-
Quantity Verification
Physical count of units and cartons against your purchase order — before you pay the balance.
-
Compliance Document Verification
Cross-check certificates (CE, FCC, REACH, RoHS, etc.) against the actual products being shipped — not a different model or batch.
-
Pass / Fail Report Within 24 Hours
Clear outcome with photographic evidence. If the shipment fails, you have documented grounds to withhold payment or request rework.
Your power to negotiate ends when the container seals.
A pre-shipment inspection gives you leverage — documented evidence to withhold the balance, demand rework, or dispute a partial shipment. Once goods are on the water, that leverage disappears.
Place your inspection order before paying the balance
We schedule the visit when goods are 100% produced and at least 80% packed.

Do you offer FBA-specific checks?
What if the shipment fails?
Can I order a re-inspection after rework?
Don't wait until shipment to catch production problems.
In-Progress QC
Pre-Shipment Assurance documents the final result. In-Progress QC gives you the leverage to change it while production is still running. For orders above $30K, both are recommended.
