The final step in securing your supply chain occurs right before your goods leave the Vendor. A Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) – also known as a Final Random Inspection (FRI) – takes place when your order is 100% completed and at least 80% fully packed in export cartons.
By conducting a Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI), you confirm that finished goods comply strictly with your design specifications, safety regulations, and purchase order terms. Consequently, this final gatekeeping check prevents non-conforming or defective items from being shipped. As a result, implementing a PSI protects your financial investment, reduces international return costs, and safeguards your brand reputation with end consumers.
