China Manufacturing Decoded

Use final inspections to verify order quality BEFORE shipment - Sourcing from China (Part 4)


Listen Later

In this episode...
Many importers are new to sourcing from China so we've been creating a mini-series of episodes that explores the sourcing process with advice and best practices from Sofeast's CEO Renaud Anjoran.
In part 3 of the series, we discussed how to manage your project with your outsourced manufacturer and the role of inspections during the production process.
Now, the production is all but over and your shipment date approaches, but there's one final step before shipping: performing a final inspection. This represents your chance to check the quantity, finished product quality, packaging and labelling, and more, in order to avoid any poor quality products being shipped with no chance to make changes once they arrive with you. Let's explore this important inspection here...
