What a pre-shipment inspection actually checks
Sampling, measurements, packaging and labelling, and what happens when something fails.
A sample, not every unit
Inspectors draw a statistical sample from finished goods and check it against the approved sample and specification.
Packaging counts too
Carton marks, labels and packing method are checked as well as the product.
When something fails
Findings go back to the factory for rework or replacement before goods are released.
Inspection is cheapest before the container is loaded.
