What the inspection covers
- Conformity: production matched to your approved sample, including measurements, materials, colors and finish
- Quantity: carton counts and units per carton
- Workmanship: visual defects classified as critical, major or minor
- Function & safety tests relevant to the product
- Packing & labeling: carton strength, marks, barcodes, Arabic labels
- Live photos and video from the production line and loading area
- A written report in Arabic or English before you pay the balance
AQL sampling explained
We use the international AQL standard (ISO 2859-1) to choose how many units to check and how many defects are acceptable. A common level for consumer goods is General Inspection Level II with AQL 2.5 for major defects and 4.0 for minor defects, with zero tolerance for critical defects. We agree the levels with you before the inspection.
Types of quality control we offer
| Inspection | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Factory audit | Before you pay a deposit | Confirms the factory is real, licensed and capable |
| Pre-production check | Before mass production | Checks raw materials and the golden sample |
| During-production inspection | At about 20–50% completion | Finds problems while they can still be fixed |
| Pre-shipment inspection | At about 80–100% packed | Final check before you pay the balance |
| Loading supervision | Day of loading | Right goods, right quantity, properly loaded |
Why this one step saves importers thousands
Most import losses happen the same way. The buyer pays the balance against a proforma invoice, the container arrives, and the goods don't match the sample. At that point there is no leverage left, because the factory has been paid in full.
A pre-shipment inspection flips the leverage. You hold the balance until the goods pass. Factories know this, which is why production quality improves as soon as they hear an inspection is booked.
