Securing Your Goods from Factory to Destination
Container Loading Supervision (CLS), also known as a Container Loading Check (CLC), is the final quality assurance step before goods are dispatched from the factory. Improper loading methods can cause serious in-transit damage, contamination, or theft. CLS helps mitigate these risks by ensuring the right goods, quantities, and handling procedures are applied at the loading site.
BQCIS inspectors arrive before loading begins to examine the container’s condition, verify the product type and quantity, oversee the loading process, ensure safe stacking and securing, and record the seal number. Detailed photo documentation provides evidence of container integrity and loading compliance.
This ensures that your cargo is packed securely, shipped in good condition, and safeguarded from the risks of mishandling or tampering throughout transit.

Success Story
CLS Prevents Damage to Fragile Goods Shipment
A European home décor importer repeatedly received damaged shipments due to improper container loading at the supplier’s site.
BQCIS conducted on-site supervision throughout container loading, inspected packaging integrity, verified quantities, and advised workers on optimal stacking methods.
Subsequent shipments arrived damage-free. The client adopted CLS as a mandatory step for all export orders, citing improved reliability and reduced claims.
