Core business areas
1. Pre-loading Inspection
Pre-loading Inspection is a critical quality control process conducted before goods are loaded onto a shipping vessel. It ensures that the products meet required standards, are properly packed, and are free from damage or defects before shipment. This inspection helps prevent disputes, delays, and financial losses due to damaged or non-compliant goods.
Confirms that the goods match the purchase order in terms of quantity, specifications, and quality. Checks for defects, damages, or deviations from agreed standards.
Ensures proper packaging to prevent damage during transit. Verifies correct labeling, barcodes, and shipping marks.

Monitors the loading process to prevent mishandling, improper stacking, or overloading. Checks container condition (clean, dry, no structural damage).
