The purposes of a pre-shipment inspection are to:
• Check the quantity and quality of the merchandise
• Check products for any defects
• Ensure products meet the safety requirements of the destination market
• Issue report for import and billing
Pre-shipment inspections were officially introduced in 1994 as an agreement to improve international trade standards under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which was later replaced by the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
A number of obligations were included in the “Agreement on Pre-Shipment Inspection,” stating that pre-shipment investigations should be applied according to the following principles:
•Non-discrimination
•Transparency
•Protection of confidential business information
•Avoidance of delays
•Price verification based on the price of identical or similar goods in the country of exportation, in which the exporter has the opportunity to explain the price charged
•Inspection agencies establish appeals procedures, the findings of which are made available to other exporters
The pre-shipment inspection typically covers: functionality, performance, durability, overall appearance, and dimensions.
We are following the AQL standards (ANSI/ASQC Z1.4, ISO 2859, NF06-022, BS 6001, DIN 40080) during inspection.
