As the term implies, Pre-Shipment Inspection takes place before the ordered goods are shipped by the supplier to buyer. A Pre-Shipment Inspection is a step taken by trade operators (buyers, suppliers, agencies) to inspect newly manufactured products before they are shipped to buyer. A Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) is a random inspection comprising a detailed inspection of finished goods before shipment. It generally takes place in the manufacturer’s premises on samples randomly selected from packed ready to ship consignment according to the defined statistical sampling procedure ISO 2859-1 and AQL (Acceptance Quality Limits) or as otherwise agreed with the buyer. The inspection criteria may cover type identification, product conformity, function, marking and safety hints, quality (consistent workmanship), quantity, packaging, unit completeness and overall compliance with the agreed specification.

Pre-shipment or final inspections are inspections on finished or reworked products, components and subassemblies. They are usually performed when production is complete with at least 80% of the products packed and are your last opportunity to identify any defects or production problems before your supplier ships your product. We usually recommend this type of inspection for less complex products where the costs of producing and remedying product defects are not high, or when the manufacturing processes and product design are relatively simple. For more advanced products, in-process or First Article Inspections will probably be more suitable. 

Pre-shipment inspections are performed to an agreed AQL established between the customer and the supplier. The customer’s inspection plan may specify:

100% factory inspection – which means all production lots will be inspected

Random Inspection – in which CDG selectively inspects items from different lots

Line Inspection – in which random inspection at certain points of the production line

Out of the Box Inspection – in which selective packaged or packed items are inspected.

Pre-shipment inspections are indispensable for you to verify the quality of what you’re buying. They also give you the opportunity to negotiate with your supplier and ask for improved performance, cost reductions, rework, or for the entire remanufacturing of your purchase order.

Inspection of manufactured products before they are shipped is time-sensitive and complex. Since its introduction in 1994, PSI has been guided by the Agreement on Pre-Shipment Inspection and other agreements under the World Trade Organization (WTO). These agreements seek to improve international trade standards and include several obligations that guide PSI inspectors.
