Pre-shipment inspections (PSI) are crucial to ensure that your order is filled correctly and meets the agreed-upon specifications before it is dispatched. As the global marketplace offers great opportunities, it also brings real risks. When working with overseas suppliers, it is essential to take precautions to mitigate the risk of an improperly filled order. PSI helps you avoid returns, protect your brand’s image, and mitigate costly import risks.

WHP provides pre-shipment inspections from independent third-party inspectors who give you the confidence that your order has been filled successfully. Our inspections help you verify the quality at the source, ensuring that you don’t pay for defective goods. We provide a comprehensive report on the same day as the inspection, which includes detailed information and pictures of any product defects or irregularities in your order.

A pre-shipment inspection is a systematic inspection of units selected at random from all batches of your order, conducted when your production is at least 80% complete. This is your final opportunity to take corrective action before your production is finished and packed, making it an effective tool to safeguard your product against costly import risks. Our inspections are conducted using the internationally recognized ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 (ISO 2859-1) statistical sampling procedure, covering functionality, performance, durability, overall appearance, and dimension.

WHP’s product inspectors are highly trained and use an appropriate sampling process to select product lots for the pre-shipment inspection. Our comprehensive pre-shipment inspection covers quantity, adherence to acceptable quality limits, measurement, color, weight, and other product specifications, compliance with international regulations and customer expectations, proper packaging, barcodes, and labeling, and adherence to testing and special requirements. Our inspectors receive regular training in their fields and industries, and with hundreds of customizable checklists for all product categories, we provide flexible and reliable quality control to secure your supply chain.
