Inspection Checklist
What We Can Check
A standard visible inspection focuses on the agreed order details. Special tests or laboratory certification require separate arrangements.
Colour, Size & Material
Compare visible colour, dimensions, material description and selected specification against the order.
Visible Defects
Check for obvious damage, missing parts, poor finishing, incorrect printing or visibly inconsistent products.
Logo & Packaging
Confirm custom logo, label, retail packaging, carton marks and basic packing arrangement.
Carton Information
Record carton quantity, gross weight, carton size and other shipping information where available.
Photos & Videos
Provide practical product, packaging and carton proof for buyer confirmation before shipment.
Basic Function Check
For suitable products, basic powering-on or simple function checks can be arranged if agreed in advance.
Third-Party Testing
Laboratory testing, certification or specialized inspection can be coordinated separately when required.
Inspection Levels
Choose the Right Checking Method
Not every product needs the same level of inspection. The quotation should state what will be checked and what is excluded.
| Inspection Type | Best For | Typical Scope | Important Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warehouse Photo Check | Small trial orders and simple products | Cartons, quantity indication, product photos and packing proof | Not a full piece-by-piece inspection |
| Standard Pre-Shipment Check | Regular wholesale orders | Sample-based visible checks, specification, packaging and carton information | Sampling cannot guarantee every unit is defect-free |
| Full or Third-Party Inspection | High-value, technical or sensitive orders | Agreed detailed checklist, broader sampling or specialist inspection | Quoted separately and may require more time |

Important Limitation
Inspection Reduces Risk, Not All Risk
A visible inspection cannot guarantee future product performance, hidden internal defects, chemical composition or official regulatory compliance unless those items are specifically tested.
Laboratory tests, certificates, electrical testing, load testing or official compliance documents must be arranged separately when required by the product or destination.
Frequently Asked Questions
Inspection Questions
Can you inspect goods from my own supplier?
Yes, subject to supplier cooperation, warehouse access, product location and an agreed inspection scope.
Will you check every piece?
Only when a full inspection is specifically arranged. Standard inspections are usually sample-based or focused on cartons and visible order details.
What happens if defects are found?
We can share the findings and help communicate with the supplier. Replacement, rework, discount or cancellation depends on the supplier agreement and order status.
Can inspection replace SONCAP or laboratory testing?
No. A visible inspection is different from product certification, laboratory testing or official regulatory approval.
Need Product Inspection Before Shipping?
Send your product, quantity and required checklist. We will confirm the available inspection method and charges.
