A Pre-Shipment Inspection is a systematic inspection of units selected at random from all batches of your order, conducted when your production is at least 80% complete. This is your final opportunity to take corrective action before your production is finished and packed; making it an effective tool to safeguard your product against costly import risks.
For all inspections, QIMA uses the standard internationally recognized ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 (ISO 2859-1) statistical sampling procedure. These comprehensive criteria cover: functionality, performance, durability, overall appearance, and dimension. Inspection certificates are issued if stipulated in the letter of credit.
QIMA's highly trained product inspectors will use the appropriate sampling process to select product lots for pre-shipment inspection, and check them against your quality requirements or the standards of your destination market. This comprehensive inspection covers such criteria as product functionality, performance, durability, overall appearance, and dimensions.
Our product inspectors receive regular training in their fields of specialization, including Softlines, Hardlines, Food, and other industries. Their expertise combined with hundreds of customizable checklists for all product categories make for flexible and reliable quality control that helps you secure your supply chain.
