It’s never been easier to find suppliers in today’s Internet age. However, this easy access has also opened up possibilities of sub-standard goods.
Our Pre-Shipment Inspection Service can greatly reduce this risk for you, especially when quality standards are defined clearly by the client and an inspection is agreed in advance with the supplier.
Absolute Flexibility
Our Pre-Shipment Inspection (Also known as “Final Random Inspection” (FRI)) is provided both as an ad-hoc service as well as part of the 360° Sourcing Service. With pre-shipment inspection, an IMEX inspector would visit the factory (or supplier’s warehouse) and physically inspect the goods after completion of at least 80% of the production (or 100% depending on client requirements).
The 360° Sourcing Process
*The services mentioned above are part of the 360° Sourcing Process, not of the China Pre Shipment Inspection Service.
