Pre-Shipment Inspection

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before starting

Is pre-shipment inspection different from factory audit?

Yes. A factory audit reviews supplier capability and conditions, while pre-shipment inspection checks finished goods before shipment.

Can this help with Amazon orders?

Yes. Packaging, labels, carton marks, and visible product issues should be checked before goods move toward FBA or third-party warehouses.

Do I need product specifications?

Specifications make inspection stronger. If you do not have them, we help identify the key checks that should be documented.
