Pre-shipment inspection (also pre-shipment inspection or PSI) is a part of supply chain management and an important quality control method for checking the quality of goods clients buy from suppliers.

PSI helps ensure that production complies with the governing specification, contract, or purchase order. A final random inspection (FRI) checks finished products, often when at least 80% of an order has been produced and export-packed. Samples are selected at random, according to standards and procedures.

Process

Pre-shipment acceptance sampling, involving inspection, and acceptance testing, may be agreed upon between a buyer, a supplier, and a bank, and it can be used to initiate payment under a letter of credit. A PSI can be performed at different stages before shipment, such as checking the total amount of goods and packing, controlling the quality or consistency of goods, checking of all documentation, as for example test reports, packaging list, or verification of compliance with standards of the destination country like ASME, CE mark and import duties.

Random selection

At the 80 percent completion point, random pieces are pulled. The goal is 8 and 2: for every ten products, two are allowed defects. If There are more, and the entire batch may be pulled.

ANSI / ASQC Z1.4 (ISO 2859-1) is the international standard for the inspection process.[1] The Acceptable Quality Limit, AQL, is previously determined by agreement of importer and manufacturer and is a necessary part of the contractual agreement.

Defects

There are three levels of defects in a pre-shipment inspection with each defect escalating into the next.

Small - Defects of this level will not affect functionality like small mis colorations.

Major - The defects are problematic and must be resolved immediately. The manufacturer risks the entire batch in this case.

Critical - The batch has serious issues and is refused. Products involving chemicals such as cosmetics, often require professional laboratories to complete the inspection.

Compliance

The inspection team covers the order and shipment. That is perhaps the most detailed of all the process and is when issues are most likely discovered. This step takes considerable time but importers consider it to be the de facto part of the inspection process.

Functionality

Does the product work in its intended manner, which is important for electronics, toys, and the like.

What is a Pre-shipment Inspection Checklist?

A pre-shipment inspection checklist is used by inspectors to visualize the items to evaluate during the inspection. It is based on the specifications on the sale contract between the buyer and seller in the transaction like importers and manufacturers, exporters and suppliers, or importers and their suppliers. A pre-shipment inspection checklist guides the inspector on the conformities to evaluate, which can include the quality of products, quantity, visible defects, labelling, and packaging. It also highlights the tests to be carried out during the inspection, like safety and usability. The items and tests vary depending on the product and the specifications in the contract. But each item and test is important in the quality control process and should be checked accordingly. QC experts like CDG Inspection use a methodological pre-shipment inspection procedure.
