Asia Inspection Services

Finished Goods Inspection – A Finished Goods Inspection (Pre Shipment Inspection PSI) is the most critical inspection which confirms the complete order quality levels. A Finished Goods inspection requires 80% of goods to be completed and be packed.

Samples of the goods are randomly selected using the internationally recognised AQL standard for sample selection. There should be a 3-5 day window between this inspection and the container being loaded.

The purpose of a Finished Goods Inspection (or Pre Shipment Inspection) is to visually check product specifications, product quantity, product dimensions, packing requirements and shipping marks. During this inspection, any on-site testing can be conducted, or samples can be collected to be independently tested. If any problems are identified, you can then address these issues with the factory before the goods are shipped.

"Its better to find faults at the factory floor, rather than at your door!"

Bi-Lingual Purchase Contracts

We provide bi-lingual purchase contracts that are legally enforceable in the Chinese courts. The contracts may include stipulations as to the thickness of the materials used, to the required pantone colours or penalties for manufacturing delays. The contracts raised may be used as a template for future orders giving you ongoing legal protection for all ongoing orders.

Sellers often hand a pro forma invoice and convince the buyer it’s a suitable document – its of little or no value if you go to court.

Always think if a judge was to see this document what language would he speak? This must be the language in your purchase contract
