Quality control
Why pre-shipment inspection matters in China sourcing
A shipment should not leave the factory before quantity, appearance, packaging, and key functions are checked against your brief.
Pre-shipment inspection is a practical checkpoint before goods leave the factory. Once cargo is shipped, quality problems become slower, more expensive, and harder to solve.
The inspection scope should match the product: quantity, appearance, dimensions, color, packaging, labeling, basic function, carton condition, and any buyer-specific requirements.
Clear acceptance standards matter. If the supplier and buyer do not define what is acceptable, even obvious defects can become long arguments.
A sourcing partner can coordinate inspection timing, collect evidence, organize claims, and help decide whether to ship, rework, or hold the goods.
