Why You Need a Pre-Shipment Inspection Before Shipping from China
Learn why a Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) is essential for every importer buying from China and how it protects your business from costly quality issues.

The Cost of Skipping PSI

Many importers underestimate the financial risk of shipping defective products from China. A Pre-Shipment Inspection costs a few hundred dollars but can save you thousands in returns, rework, and damaged customer relationships.

What Does PSI Cover?

A standard Pre-Shipment Inspection covers: quantity verification, visual inspection, functional testing, packaging evaluation, labeling verification, and AQL sampling according to ISO 2859 standards.

When Should You Book PSI?

Book your inspection when 100% of production is complete and at least 80% of goods are packed. This gives the inspector a representative sample to evaluate.
