Pre-Shipment Inspection
Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) is a critical quality control process conducted during various stages of production, including pre-production. Pre-production inspection verifies materials, specifications, and samples before mass production begins. Final Random Inspection (using AQL standards) or 100% Quality Inspection ensures products meet all agreed requirements for specifications, functionality, and packaging.
PSI identifies defects, confirms quantities, and protects your brand by preventing costly returns and ensuring customer satisfaction. Our service also includes loading inspection to ensure that goods are properly packaged, handled, and loaded into shipping containers, minimizing the risk of damage or incorrect shipment during transit.
