Vietnam pre-shipment inspection focus areas

A Vietnam pre-shipment inspection should be booked when production is complete or close to complete and the buyer still has time to react. It is especially useful before releasing the final balance, confirming a freight booking, or allowing goods to move from the factory to a forwarder or consolidation warehouse.

Confirm completed quantity and packed percentage before scheduling the inspection.

Review workmanship, dimensions, function, assortment, and quantity against the purchase order.

Check carton condition, export packing, shipping marks, retail labels, barcodes, and buyer instructions.

Leave time for supplier rework or re-inspection before the vessel, truck, or consolidation cutoff.
