Why Should Importers Prefer Third-Party Inspectors?

1. Smooth communication, Importers can communicate through the bilingual inspector staff.

2. Reduced risk of integrity issues: One of the best ways to prevent this is by rotating inspectors so that no inspector gets too familiar with staff and management at a factory.

3. Flexibility and limited obligation: You may want an inspection report to be issued in a certain format or the inspector to use a certain testing method for your product. Third-party inspectors are contractors typically hired on an as-needed basis.

4. Lower costs and higher efficiency: help you reduce the cost and time needed to conduct an inspection.

Quality inspection is an essential part of every production line. Those who don’t understand how valuable it is are not looking at the big picture. Money-wise, the cost of manufacturing a product extends far beyond the build cost, as it continues across its lifecycle, from support and delivery to warranty claims and – for some products – disposal.

It might seem like an unnecessary investment at the start but, with proper management, Quality Inspection can reduce future costs, relating to customer support, warranty returns, and rejected/returned items. Quality inspection can even add value to your company, as you’ll count on a competitive defense tool that will eventually pour more money into your pockets.
