Protecting Your Brand at Every Stage of Production
For retailers and brands, ensuring product quality is essential for maintaining customer trust and avoiding costly recalls. Our Product Inspection & Sampling services provide critical quality control checkpoints throughout the manufacturing lifecycle, ensuring goods meet your specifications before they are shipped.
We deploy experienced, product-specific inspectors to your supplier's factory to conduct on-site checks. This can include During Production Inspection (DUPRO) to catch issues early, or the more common Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI), which is a final check of finished, packed goods. Inspectors use statistical sampling (AQL) to select units and perform a comprehensive evaluation.
Checks include verifying workmanship, function, safety, dimensions, packaging, labeling, and barcodes against your approved specifications and "golden sample." We also perform on-site sampling, collecting representative samples to be sealed and sent for independent laboratory testing. Our detailed reports, delivered same-day, give you the clear data needed to accept or reject a shipment.

Success Story
Pre-Shipment Inspection Prevents Defective Goods Shipment
A retailer ordered 10,000 units of a new electronic kitchen appliance. They needed to ensure the final product matched the approved "golden sample" and was safe and functional before authorizing payment and shipment from the overseas factory.
BQCIS conducted a Level II Pre-Shipment Inspection once the goods were 100% produced. Our inspector performed workmanship, function, and safety tests on a random sample of 200 units, including voltage verification, packaging integrity, and barcode accuracy.
The inspection found that 12 units (above the AQL) had a critical safety failure: the power cord was incorrectly wired. The shipment was immediately failed, allowing the importer to require rework and prevent a costly recall and reputational loss.
