Pre-Shipment Inspection

A Pre-Shipment Inspection is a final inspection before shipment. It assesses the quality of products before they are loaded into the container.

What is a Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)?

A Pre-Shipment Inspection reduces all kinds of risks for importers and is performed when approximately 80% to 100% of the total order has been produced and at least 80% of that has been packaged.

The purpose of a final inspection before shipment

Thus, importers need to check the quality of each order before it is shipped to its destination. Therefore, the purpose of a final inspection before shipment is:

  • Control of quality and quantity of products
  • Minimizing risks and possible defects
  • Meeting deadlines and maintaining the reputation

A pre-shipment inspection ensures that the quality of each order is and remains as desired.

When to outsource a Pre-Shipment Inspection?

A pre-shipment final inspection allows you to take remedial measures before the products are loaded and shipped and the production process is complete. This minimizes your risks and avoids downside risks.

Proper implementation of a PSI requires a lot of knowledge, time, and energy. Time that many companies/importers cannot spare. That is why they have their Pre-Shipment Inspections performed by an external quality control company.
