Why Inspect Before Shipment
The balance payment is usually due before the container sails — and once it's on the water, fixing problems costs weeks and thousands. A pre-shipment inspection catches defects while they're still fixable in China: wrong quantities, quality drift from the approved sample, broken units, missing accessories, damaged packaging. It's the cheapest insurance in importing.

FAQ
How fast can you schedule an inspection? On-site visits are typically scheduled within a few days of approval, depending on the factory's location.
Do you cover warehouses too? Yes — inspections at third-party warehouses and consolidation points are common.
