Inspection for Global Trade Confidence
Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) is critical in international trade to verify that goods conform to contractual specifications before being dispatched. BQCIS PSI services mitigate risk by confirming product quality, packaging integrity, and quantity compliance at origin.
Our independent inspectors follow globally recognized sampling protocols (ISO 2859-1 / ASTM) and inspect goods for visual defects, measurement accuracy, labeling, and packaging standards. The inspection report offers transparency and dispute protection for both parties.

Success Story
PSI Saves a Commodity Trader from $1M Discrepancy
A commodity trader discovered that a shipment of cocoa beans shipped from West Africa had discrepancies in moisture content and bag weight when landing in Europe.
BQCIS conducted PSI in origin, performing moisture and weight checks, packaging integrity inspection, and labeling review. Discrepancies were flagged and resolved prior to shipment.
The trader avoided losses exceeding $1M in deductions and renegotiated contract terms using verified data, preventing future deviations.
