Why pre-shipment inspection matters

Today we are living in a global village, with products and commodities being imported and exported around the world. Most of global trade runs on mutual trust — buyers rely on suppliers to deliver the quality that has been agreed upon.

To further strengthen these buyer and seller relationships, pre-shipment inspection and sample testing is often carried out to ensure that the product reaching the importing country meets the buyer's requirements.

This greatly reduces the chances of consignments being rejected after import due to non-compliance with the buyer's specifications or the regulatory requirements of the importing country.

Authorised inspection bodies

Pre-shipment inspection and sampling is required to be conducted by an organisation that is either nominated by the buyer, authorised by the regulatory body of the importing country, or recognised by the competent authority of the exporting country.
