China pre-shipment inspection focus areas
A China pre-shipment inspection is usually the last practical checkpoint before final balance payment, factory dispatch, or freight handover. It is particularly important when the supplier is pushing for payment, the shipment is tied to Amazon FBA or ecommerce requirements, or the buyer needs independent evidence before approving release.
Inspect when production is finished and most goods are packed, before the final balance is released.
Verify quantity, carton count, carton markings, labels, packaging, workmanship, and function checks.
Review shipment-specific requirements for Amazon FBA, ecommerce, private label, or distributor orders.
Use the report to approve shipment, hold the goods, request rework, or schedule a re-inspection.
