Pre-Shipment Inspection

What is Pre-Shipment Inspection?

Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) is a comprehensive check of randomly selected products from all batches, usually performed when production is complete and more than 80% of the goods are packed and ready for shipment. It is the last chance to take corrective action before production and packing are 100% complete, and a widely used, effective tool for reducing risks in international trade. PSI is part of supply chain services. With our comprehensive capabilities and professional expertise, we provide tailored one-stop solutions for all of your supply chain service needs.

Why is Pre-Shipment Inspection necessary?

The purpose of PSI is to ensure safe transportation and product quality. Many countries require imported products to comply with regional, national and international safety standards, and PSI verifies whether inspection results of imported goods meet these requirements.
