Types of inspection
- Pre-production: checks materials and samples before the factory starts
- During production: catches problems early, usually at 20–50% completion
- Pre-shipment: checks finished, packed goods against your specification
- Container loading check: confirms quantity and loading before sealing
What we check
- Quantity, size, colour and materials against the approved sample
- Function and safety tests where relevant
- Packing, carton marks and Arabic labelling
- Photos and video of the goods and the loading
When problems are found
You decide: the factory reworks, replaces or discounts before the balance is paid. Paying the final amount after inspection keeps the leverage with you.
