Pre-shipment inspection

The authorities of some countries require that goods are inspected before export. This is to ensure precious foreign exchange is spent on good quality and reasonably priced goods.

The objective of Pre Shipment Inspection is to verify whether the finished products supplier to the buyer meets the contractual requirements with respect to material, visual appearance, dimensional accuracy, structural requirements, performance level, Quality and Quantity etc.  Further it should also verify the provision of transport-worthy packaging of products.
