Pre-Shipment Inspections

In-Process Inspection (IPI) just £195/day most locations!

In-Process inspections offer the greatest level of control. Most all problems uncovered during actual production run inspections can be easily resolved prior to the seller incurring the entire production expense. Addressing these problems prior to the seller incurring the entire production cost makes it much more likely the seller will be willing to resolve any quality issues.

CRL Suggests: Use this service if upon production completion there could be quality problems that would cause you serious shipment delay, product reworking expense, or a confrontation with the factory regarding acceptability. An FSI should also be performed when using a IPI.   

Final Shipment Inspection (FSI) just £195/day most locations!

Final shipment inspections take place after production is complete either at the production facility itself or much less frequently at the forwarder's warehouse. If the FSI is performed at the production facility, then problems can be more easily managed. However, if the FSI is conducted at the forwarder's warehouse, then a seller will less willing to resolve quality issues.

CRL Suggests: Use just this service if your budget allows for only one inspection or if you are not concerned about shipment delay, product reworking expense, or a confrontation with the factory regarding poor quality and acceptability of the product.

Container Loading Supervision (CLS) just £195/day most locations!

Container loading supervision assures the importer-buyer that the goods ordered are indeed the same goods to be placed on the container and that the goods ordered are entirely placed in the container and in a way the buyer has stipulated the goods be loaded. A full quantity check and quality spot check can also be performed during this process.

CRL Suggests: Use this service if your main concern is a short-shipment (the loading of fewer items than ordered) or loading incorrect items or loading the items incorrectly. A "spot" check inspection can also be performed during the CLS however it will not be as detailed as an FSI.
