The Most Expensive Mistake an Importer Can Make
Many new importers think Quality Control is an "extra cost". But consider the cost of NOT inspecting:
- β Unsellable Inventory Opening a container only to find 30% of goods are broken.
- β The Return Myth You cannot return goods to China easily. The factory won't refund you.
- β Brand Damage One bad review on Amazon because of a defect can kill your listing.
Inspection is not an expense. It is your insurance policy.
Our Inspection Services
Pre-Shipment (PSI)
MOST POPULARWhen: 100% produced, 80% packed.
We strictly check Quantity, Workmanship, Function, and Packing based on AQL standards.
During Production
When: 20-50% produced.
We visit the line to identify defects EARLY, allowing the factory to fix them before mass production ends.
Loading Supervision
When: Loading day.
Verify container condition and ensure YOUR goods are loaded correctly (not swapped) and stacked safely.
Why Choose Us Over a 3rd Party Inspector?
Reports don't fix products; Leverage does.
3rd Party Inspector
Only reports problems. They cannot force the factory to fix them. They leave after the report.

We hold the Final Payment (70%). If QC fails, we withhold money until the factory reworks the goods.
We Don't Guess. We Follow Global Standards.
Our inspections are strictly based on ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 (ISO 2859-1) international sampling tables.
| Defect Type | Definition | Your Default Tolerance |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | Hazardous or unsafe conditions (e.g., sharp edges, mold). | 0 Allowed (Zero Tolerance) |
| Major | Functional failure or obvious appearance defect. | AQL 2.5 (Standard) |
| Minor | Small cosmetic issues that don't affect usage. | AQL 4.0 (Standard) |
* We can adjust these strictness levels based on your specific requirements.
Integrity is Non-Negotiable.
A common fear is that the inspector will take a "Red Envelope" (bribe) to pass bad goods. We have destroyed this possibility with our 3-Layer Protection System:
- 1 Inspector Rotation: We never send the same inspector twice.
- 2 GPS & Body Cams: Inspectors are tracked and recorded.
- 3 Whistleblower Reward: We reward factories for reporting bribery.
"We work for YOU, not the factory."
Your eyes are our eyes.

If you use our Full Sourcing Service, basic inspection is often included. For standalone requests, we charge a flat daily rate (e.g., $199/man-day).
We issue a "Do Not Ship" alert. We negotiate with the factory to rework or replace goods. We do not release payment until Re-Inspection passes.
Don't Let Bad Quality Kill Your Business.
It costs $10,000 to return a container. It costs a fraction of that to inspect it.
