The Pre-Shipment Inspection Services (PSI) is one of many types of quality control inspections conducted by CDG. It is an important step in the quality control process and is the method for checking the quality of goods before they are shipped.

Pre-shipment inspection ensures that production complies with specifications of the buyer and/or the terms of a purchase order or letter of credit. This inspection is conducted on finished products when at least 80% of the order has been packed for shipping. This inspection is done according to standard Acceptable Quality Limits (AQL) specs for the product, or based upon customer requirements. Samples are selected and inspected for defects at random, according to these standards and procedures. Our pre-shipment inspection can identify non-compliance with government regulations.

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.

CDG'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.

Pre-shipment or final inspections are inspections on finished or reworked products, components and subassemblies. They are usually performed when production is complete with at least 80% of the products packed and are your last opportunity to identify any defects or production problems before your supplier ships your product. We usually recommend this type of inspection for less complex products where the costs of producing and remedying product defects are not high, or when the manufacturing processes and product design are relatively simple. For more advanced products, in-process or First Article Inspections will probably be more suitable. 

Pre-shipment inspections are performed to an agreed AQL established between the customer and the supplier. The customer’s inspection plan may specify:

• 100% factory inspection – which means all production lots will be inspected
• Random Inspection – in which CDG selectively inspects items from different lots
• Line Inspection – in which random inspection at certain points of the production line
• Out of the Box Inspection – in which selective packaged or packed items are inspected.

Pre-shipment inspections are indispensible for you to verify the quality of what you’re buying. They also give you the opportunity to negotiate with your supplier and ask for improved performance, cost reductions, rework, or for the entire remanufacturing of your purchase order.

Our pre-shipment inspections are individually tailored to your product and quality requirements. To use the right CDG Quality Representatives for the inspection work, we will need to know your product, your inspection criteria, the production volume, and your supplier’s technical compliance records. All our quality inspectors have the following skills:

• Ability to read technical drawings and blueprints
• Strong problem detection and reporting skills
• Excellent eye for detail and understanding of quality standards
• Familiarity with production processes and inspection techniques
• Knowledge in sampling techniques
• Supplier problem resolution skills
• Helps in maintaining your brand image by ensuring the delivery of high-quality products to your clients PSI inspection avoid misrouting/misplacement of your products

In international trade transactions, one of the biggest challenges for importers is to ensure that the quality of the goods shipped conforms to the qualifications stated on the sales contract.

Importers can take preventive steps to buy only high-quality goods from their suppliers like buying the goods with open account terms. But this precaution may suffice to ascertain the quality of the goods because many exporters don’t accept to work with open account payment terms.

Pre-Shipment Inspection is an effective security tool, which is demanded by the importer companies to verify if the goods dispatched conform to buyer’s specifications.

To mitigate the risk of an improperly filled order, importer/exporter hires an inspection company. The inspection company deploys a pre-shipment inspector who collects the sample for the inspection and submits the report with the final decision.

Why is Pre-shipment inspection essential?

To discover the types of defects, and how much per cent of products have defects.

To verify the quality of the products, whether they meet the requirements.

To know if the shipping marks, packing and labelling are correct.

To find out if the product function properly.

To save time and money, by preventing losses and delays caused by the incorrect product.

To reduce the losses and risks, hiring an established and reliable Pre-shipment inspection company might be the solution for you. Don’t take any risks with your order. A pre-shipment inspector can ensure that the products you pay for meet your specifications.

Here are some of the benefits of hiring a quality pre-shipment inspection company.

 Communication

Pre-shipment inspectors from a reliable inspection company will be efficient communicators, proficient in the local language as well as in English. This can aid in establishing a rapport with all parties involved in the process.

·         Integrity

·         A Professional inspection company rotates their staffs and follows strict policies that forbid their staff to accept any gifts or other benefits to influence the decision.

·         Flexibility

·         The inspection company will be flexible to your needs and demands like you might want an inspection report in a certain format or you might want the inspector to opt for a particular type of testing method. It is better to book the service within a few days of an upcoming order to avoid the last-minute hassle.

·         Cost-Effective

·         One of the major benefits of hiring a pre-shipment inspection company is cost-saving. Performing the inspection yourself can be very time-consuming and expensive.

As the term implies, Pre-Shipment Inspection takes place before the ordered goods are shipped by the supplier to buyer. A Pre-Shipment Inspection is a step taken by trade operators (buyers, suppliers, agencies) to inspect newly manufactured products before they are shipped to buyer. A Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) is a random inspection comprising a detailed inspection of finished goods before shipment. It generally takes place in the manufacturer’s premises on samples randomly selected from packed ready to ship consignment according to the defined statistical sampling procedure ISO 2859-1 and AQL (Acceptance Quality Limits) or as otherwise agreed with the buyer. The inspection criteria may cover type identification, product conformity, function, marking and safety hints, quality (consistent workmanship), quantity, packaging, unit completeness and overall compliance with the agreed specification.

Pre-Shipment Inspections are officially recognized as an instrument to improve international trade standards by the World Trade Organisation (WTO). Certain countries like Bangladesh, China, India and Indonesia have mandated Pre-Shipment Inspections (PSI) for all imports while others like Mexico and Kuwait require PSI for certain type of products or based on the value of the product. Governments of these countries assert that Pre-Shipment Inspections prevent substandard goods from entering their country and preempt costly losses and very expensive and lengthy international litigation. Requirements for Pre-Shipment Inspections are sometimes spelled out in letters of credit or other purchase documents.

Why is Pre-Shipment Inspection specified when goods have been made to order as per buyers specifications?

 Pre-Shipment Inspection removes the guess work and possibility of receiving different or substandard product or many other variables involving different aspects within the requisite specification of order and consignment. Once the ordered consignment has reached your factory/warehouse/showroom and non-conformities are found, it is too late to avoid a very expensive debate, which ends in acrimony, financial loss and delays in otherwise well laid plans. It helps ease your international transaction and ensures that goods manufactured and shipped, conform to the buyer’s exact requirements. The purpose of Pre-Shipment Inspection is to:

• Check the quantity and quality of the merchandise ready to be shipped
• Detailed product inspection to check for defects/ non-conformities
• Ensure products meet the various safety/labeling  requirements of the destination market/client
• Issue Inspection/Audit Report providing information of actual findings. Once the PSI is completed, a report is compiled with a pass/fail result, and a detailed account of the inspection results. These Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) reports invariably provide photographic evidence of all aspects of the inspection, including all defects/non conformities found, so there are no unpleasant surprises once consignment arrives in your warehouse
• CDG appropriately qualified and experienced auditors to perform inspections according to type of product to be inspected. Relevant international standards are followed, but the objective is to provide a balanced, unbiased view, while checking to ensure that your products meet specifications

Pre-Shipment Inspection, also spelled as PSI, is a part of supply chain management and an important quality control method for checking the quality of goods clients buy from suppliers. A pre-Shipment inspection ensures that production complies with the buyer’s specifications and the terms of a purchase order or letter of credit.

The pre-shipment inspection can be agreed upon between a buyer, a supplier, and a rank. It can be used to initiate payment for a letter of credit. A pre-shipment can be performed at different stages before shipments, such as checking the total amount of goods, checking of all documentation, as tests reports, packaging list, or verification of compliance with standards of the destination country.

Role of Pre-Shipment Inspection Expertise

The highly trained and experts of pre-shipment inspection will use the appropriate sampling process to select product lots of pre-shipment inspection and check them against your quality requirements or the standards of your destination market.

Quality control isn’t a formality carried out at the supplier’s end. But a strict procedure of evaluating the products before they arrive at the point of destination.

A pre-shipment inspection from an independent third party gives you the peace of mind that your order has been filed before it is dispatched.

The quality control inspector compiles a comprehensive inspection report and issues pre-shipment inspection certificates based on the findings of the assessment of each criterion. Inspection reports visualize and explain the quality control process while inspection certificates verify whether the batches of products inspected conform to the specifications in the sale contract with a pass or fail. In most countries, local custom departments require pre-shipment inspection certificates to allow entry of imported goods as a measure to protect the health and safety of consumers.

A Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) is an essential step in the quality control process. It is carried out by either a Quality Control Department or an independent quality control service/agent where goods are quality tested before being dispatched. This procedure ensures that production complies with the specifications of the buyer and/or the terms of a procurement order or letter of credit.

A pre-shipment inspection is also a step carried out by traders, agencies, buyers, and other trade operators. They inspect newly manufactured products to ascertain the quality and quantity of the merchandise, including any defects before they’re shipped to comply with consumer laws.

The pre-shipment process includes acceptance sampling, inspection, and testing, which can be agreed upon between a supplier, a buyer, and a bank. A pre-shipment inspection can be performed at various stages before shipment. Aside from quality control measures, a pre-inspection also involves checking of all documentation and verification of compliance with industry standards.

When is the Pre-Shipment Inspection Conducted?

The pre-shipment inspection can be carried out in various production phases before the goods leave the exporter’s factory. However, the inspection is generally conducted on finished products when 80% of the order has been packed for shipping. The pre-inspection must be done according to standard Acceptable Quality Limits specifications for the product or customer requirements. During the inspection, the inspectors must follow the company’s quality standards and the destination market’s standards.

The Crucial Elements of a Pre-Shipment Inspection

The significance of quality control and pre-shipment inspection as a part of a company’s overall quality control strategy cannot be understated. Therefore, using a reputable third-party inspection service,crucial to ensuring that goods produced are of acceptable quality before reaching the client.

• Product Quality and the Customer

It may seem almost too obvious to say that a pre-shipment inspection can improve product quality. However, most businesses don’t realize just how much of an effect quality can have on their bottom-line. A quality product leaves a lasting impression on your customer. Clients will remember a bad quality product just as much as a good quality product. Building a good reputation with your client is essential for any business, and quality standards are the driver for attaining that. The Acceptable Quality Limit, defined in ISO 2859-1, ensures that your defect rate is below a certain threshold, thus maintaining quality.

• Packaging

Packaging helps to ensure that the client’s items arrive undamaged, saving time and money. Quality packaging can protect against spillage, rough handling, and unauthorized entry. A company that uses optimized packaging can help curtail shipping costs and save the customer more money. Overall, the inspectors have to ensure that the packaging meets the customer’s standards and expectations.

• Labeling

Labeling goods properly during shipping is a crucial step in the delivery process. This fact may seem obvious, but it’s so simple that it’s often overlooked or neglected. Ideally, a label should contain both the sender and the recipient’s name and address, the content description, the shipping service, tracking number, and scannable UPC barcodes. Missing regulatory labels will most likely cause product recalls or fines, while incorrect or non-scannable bar codes can lead to massive customer losses.

Major commodity businesses must take extra caution when it comes to shipping. Poor quality products might easily slip away and be exported with the rest, leading to fatal consequences to the company’s reputation. Therefore, it is important to ensure everything is in its best condition, and this can be done with a pre-shipment inspection.

Principally, pre-shipment inspection is a process to inspect the consignment before shipped and directed by either buyers or the supplier. The inspection is conducted to maintain product quality and standard required on the trade contract, as the process is performed in accordance with the national and international regulations of trade standards, in addition to the specifications dictated by the trade contract.

Buyers or suppliers might use pre-shipment inspection services with different motives. Usually, a buyer’s motive is to ensure that there is no low-quality material being shipped to them and to prevent it from happening. Meanwhile, a supplier aims to attend to any poor-quality product issues.

How does it work?

Pre-shipment inspectors are obligated to ensure all the requirements and execute the process excellently for their buyers and suppliers. Fundamentally, a pre-shipment inspection assists suppliers in the following:

1. Ensure product compliance with the detailed requirements and standards.
2. Ensure that the goods shipped meet the requirements on the trade contract and assist the suppliers in reducing the risks and save them from a product recall/ being rejected.
3. Ensure immediate product replacement can be done if any damage or out of requirements is found.
4. Ensures and maintains a fruitful relationship between the buyer and the supplier through the entire process

In addition, the following are items that are typically examined during the inspection:

1. Chemicals: Chemicals contained in the products should be legal in the country of origin or country of destination or both to ensure national and international public health and safety.
2. Quantities: suppliers need to meet buyers’ demands and specifications. Incorrect quantity will result in a follow-up order that will lead to increased freight costs.
3. Defects: suppliers have to make sure that all goods are free from defects/ quality issues. Random inspection checks are also required to see that the product’s quality is  in line with specifications required.

In short, a pre-shipment inspection involves processes to detect any quality issues and product defects, and both supplier and buyer can hire inspectors to ensure that every party is benefited and makes no losses.

Why is it essential?

A pre-shipment inspection needs to be done before any shipping activity for a number of reasons, including:

• To discover the types of defects and the quality issues prior to the shipment.
• To verify the quality of the products and whether they have met the demanded requirements.
• For manufactured products, to check whether all shipping marks, packing, and labeling are also correct to ensure that the shipped products function properly

The inspection helps to convey a deadline within which the exporters can expect the good production to be complete and made available for shipment.

On completion of the inspection, the exporters will receive a pre-shipment inspection certificate that can be displayed as one of the quality measures followed by the goods manufacturing company.

Pre-shipment inspections (PSI) is defined as the certification of the value, quality, and/or identity of traded goods done in the exporting country by specialized agencies or firms on behalf of the importing country. Traditionally used as a means to prevent over-or under-invoicing, it is now being used as a security measure.

Pre-shipment inspections are required when mandated by the government of the importing country. Governments assert that pre-shipment inspections ensure that the price charged by the exporter reflects the true value of the goods, prevent substandard goods from entering their country, and mitigate attempts to avoid the payment of customs duties.

Pre-shipment inspections are typically performed by contracted private organizations. In most cases, importers can select from a short list of these organizations when planning inspections. However, sometimes one firm is appointed to carry out inspections for a given country on an exclusive bases.  Inspection costs are generally paid either by the importer or by the government of the importing country. However in some cases, the inspection agency may invoice the seller in the event of supplementary inspection visits. The costs associated with presenting the goods for inspection (such as unpacking, handling, testing , sampling ,repackaging) are the responsibility of the seller.

Although the importer is responsible for arranging the pre-shipment inspection, the exporter must make the goods available for inspection in the country of origin. Delays in the process can lead to problems with the shipment and /or increased costs for the exporter. Therefore, it is in the best interest of exporters to work with their freight forwarder to ensure that all information is accurate and is provided to the inspection company immediately after notification of the requested inspection. Requirements for pre-shipment inspections are sometimes spelled out in letters of credit or other documents.  Generally, the inspection company starts the inspection process once it receives a copy of the inspection order from the importing country. An inspection order states the value of goods, the name and address of the importer and the exporter, the country of supply, and the importer‘s declaration of customs code. The inspection company then contacts the exporter to arrange an inspection site and time.Pre-shipment inspection from CIL – ensure your products meet quality standards, technical specifications and contractual requirements.

Pre-shipment inspection refers to the steps taken by sellers to inspect newly manufactured or sourced products before their ship to the final customer. 

The main role of the shipment and inspection is to check the quality of the products, and the quantity of the merchandise, find any defects in the pieces, ensure that the safety requirements are met, and check for any discrepancies in billing, etc. 

Pre-shipment inspections were officially introduced in 1994 to improve the international trade standards under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). 

An independent inspection agency is employed to perform these inspections to ensure the functionality, durability, performance, dimensions, etc. of the products. A pre-shipment inspection is usually performed when the production or supply is at least 80% complete. This is an added validation that gives the customer satisfaction about the product quality and safety.

Essential Steps in a Pre-Shipment Inspection:

Inspection Visit: The first step in the pre-shipment inspection procedure is the inspection visit. This includes the planning of the inspection on the site at which it will be carried out. The inspection procedure is laid out and the process is decided. 

Verify Quantity: The next step is quantity verification. The inspectors count the cartons to verify the quantity and ensure that the right number of products and boxes are sent to the correct destination.

Random Sampling: The next step is random sampling. In this step, a statistical sampling procedure like the Acceptance Quality Limit (AQL) sampling method is used to determine the number of pieces to examine in each batch/carton. Post this, the products are pulled from the final batch. 

Product-Specific Testing: After samples are taken from the production batch, special testing is done to determine the quality of the products. This is usually based on the category. For example, if the goods are electronic, the charging ability, time taken to charge, etc. will be carried out.
