CGF FBA Amazon items quality Control / China Pre-shipment Inspection for Vacuum cleaner
This is the most popular type of QC inspection for importers. It takes place once all the products are finished and ready for shipment.
Note: A “packed product” is ready for shipment (i.e. in a closed export carton with full shipping marks). In many cases, the inspector accepts up to 20% of unpacked products per reference. This way, the inspection can often take place without delaying the shipment.
The conformity of the products is checked against a list of criteria defined by the buyer (product quantity, workmanship, function, safety, aspect, size, packing…).
Buyers are advised to ask their inspectors to keep track of which cartons were opened. This way, a 2nd “spot” inspection can give an idea of how seriously the control was performed.
Of the three inspections presented in this article, this is the only one where the total quantity of products can be counted, and where samples of finished products can be drawn in a truly random manner–and thus be representative of the whole batch.
As a result, the results of final inspections are more reliable. And some buyers assume that the inspectors should “guarantee” the quality of the whole order quantity, when the inspection is passed. Unfortunately, it is impossible for several reasons:
After the inspection is done, and before shipment, many things can happen. A dishonest factory can ship a smaller quantity, substitute the content of the cartons, etc. There is a solution to avoid this: a container-loading supervision.
An inspection result (pass/fail) is not 100% reliable: even a random sample might be better than the average products; the inspector might make a mistake; an inspector might get bribed by the supplier, etc.
