Frequently Asked Questions

What does the counterparty check actually look at?

The registration record, the stated business scope, who owns the machines and employs the operators, whether part of the order is subcontracted, the name on the account that will take the deposit, and any reference whose origin we can verify. The result is a short written note with the sources we used.

How is the sampling plan decided?

Before the visit, in writing: how many cartons are opened, how many units are taken from each, and how those units are chosen. Fixing it in advance is what makes two visits comparable, and the report states the plan alongside the quantities actually inspected.

What is outside an inspection?

Units that were not sampled were not seen. Faults that appear only after use, faults hidden inside a sealed unit, damage after the cartons leave the loading dock, and the question of whether the goods satisfy any rule of the destination country are all outside the visit.

Can you arrange transport and insurance?

We consolidate, prepare the loading record and hand the goods to a carrier you nominate. The freight and cargo insurance contracts are placed in your name by the carrier or broker you choose, not by us.

Who pays for rework after a failed checkpoint?

That rests on what the purchase order with your supplier says, which is why an inspection is most useful when the order already states what happens if a checkpoint fails. We report the failure and the evidence; the commercial consequence is between you and the supplier.

Do you keep working after the goods ship?

Yes. Questions that come up in transit or while the entry is open are answered from the same file, and the monthly desk engagement exists for buyers who want that continuity across several shipments.
