FAQ

Questions buyers ask before starting

Is this the same as a factory audit?

No. A factory audit reviews supplier capability and conditions, while a factory inspection checks goods, packaging, labels, and defects before shipment.

Can packaging be checked?

Yes. Cartons, retail packaging, labels, barcodes, carton marks, and visible packing risks can be included when requirements are clear.

What happens if defects are found?

The inspection evidence can support rework, replacement, discount, shipment hold, or negotiation before final payment or pickup.
