Product Description

Pre-Shipment Inspection (Also known as “Final Random Inspection” (FRI)) is one of our most popular quality control services. PSI is provided both as an ad-hoc service as well as part of the **0 degree sourcing service. With pre-shipment inspection an IMEX inspector would visit the factory (or supplier’s warehouse) and physically inspect the goods after completion of at least *0% of production (or **0% depending on client requirements). As a third party inspection company IMEX only uses trained quality control inspectors who ensure that the goods conform to the standards set by the client and agreed with the supplier.

Inspectors use the latest testing methodologies & our intensive inspection experience ensures that defective or sub-standard products are spotted before you make the final payment to your supplier. Some of the key inspection criteria include quantity, appearance of products, workmanship, production functions, colours, dimensions, weight, labeling & logos, packaging, and any other specific requirements as requested by client.
