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.

  2. 02Verify quantity, carton count, carton markings, labels, packaging, workmanship, and function checks.
  3. 03Review shipment-specific requirements for Amazon FBA, ecommerce, private label, or distributor orders.
  4. 04Use the report to approve shipment, hold the goods, request rework, or schedule a re-inspection.
