China Pre-shipment Inspections

China-Buy provides competent pre-shipment inspections for construction related products and materials.

• Ensure the final product meets or exceeds established standards
• Ensure packaging meets standards required to protect goods during transit
• Ensure package design, logos, markings etc meet stated requirement

The Pre-shipment Inspection (PSI), also called Final Random Inspection (FRI) or Finished Quality Control, will take place when 100% of production quantities are completed, unless otherwise specified by the client.

Pre-shipment inspections ensure that every product in every container meets the standards set, and encapsulated in a prototype, before production began.

By this stage, in-progress inspections should have ensured that the production process is consistently producing quality meeting the minimum standard as established by the "sealed sample" benchmark prototype. The pre-shipment inspections performs a final piece-by-piece (generally NOT random unless specified) inspection. This piece-by-piece approach takes account of variances that are often found in construction related products such as furniture, bathtubs etc. With furniture, particularly, variances tend to be more pronounced.

Our pre-shipment inspections address the following:

• Product appearance (e.g. design, colour-matching, finish quality).
• Workmanship (finish quality of all components).
• Safety and function.
• Quantity.
• Labeling & logos.
• Packaging & packing (including the shipping marks) inspection.

Once each inspection is completed, a detailed report with digital photographs will be provided.

The next, and final, step of the quality control process is the container loading inspection.
