Pre-Shipment Inspection

Pre-shipment inspections (PSI inspections) are performed on-site at the factory or forwarder’s warehouse before containers are loaded and sent to the port. They are conducted when the order is at least 80% complete and packed.

It serves as the final quality control check before the delivery of goods, and is, therefore, also referred to as a Final Random Inspection (FRI).

How Does Eurosia Perform the Pre-shipment Inspection?

At Eurosia, pre-shipment inspection entails randomly sampling your goods to determine if they are in accordance with the internationally accepted standard, ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 (ISO 2859-1). This is followed by a comprehensive quality assessment of the selected samples with the help of a series of product tests and AQL inspection.

The elements in our checklist are tailored to accommodate your unique requirements and the quality standard of the target market.

PSI checks include the following factors:

  • Workmanship
  • Quantity
  • Shipping marks
  • Style & colors
  • Artworks & labels
  • Dimensions & weight
  • Packing & packaging
  • Tests (including tests on product function, performance, durability and safety)
  • Client’s requirements
