Pre-shipment inspection is a critical inspection process to ensure that your products meet agreed upon specifications, quality standards, and safety regulations before leaving the factory. At Cisema, we deliver comprehensive pre shipment and audit services across China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand.

Pre-Shipment Inspection & Quality Control Services in Asia

At Cisema, our pre-shipment inspection services go beyond traditional pre-shipment checks. We offer end-to-end inspection coverage that spans the entire production and delivery cycle. This includes comprehensive supplier audits as part of your due diligence process when selecting manufacturers in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.


We then support you with pre-production inspections to evaluate raw materials and manufacturing readiness, followed by in-process inspections to monitor ongoing production and ensure early detection of quality issues. Our services culminate with rigorous pre shipment and on-arrival inspections to verify product conformity, packaging integrity, quantity, labeling accuracy, and regulatory compliance before your goods enter the market. This full lifecycle approach ensures your shipment aligns with agreed upon specifications, protects your brand, and reinforces your quality assurance strategy.

What Is a Pre-Shipment Inspection?

A pre-shipment inspection is performed when production is at least 80 percent complete and goods are packed. This final random inspection ensures that products comply with your agreement, match the order quantity, and are packaged according to specific requirements. We confirm that what is shipped matches your expectations and protects your brand from customer complaints.

Cisema’s pre shipment inspections help you:

Verify product quality, labeling, and quantity before shipment
Detect defects and non-conformities early
Take immediate corrective action if needed
Prevent delays and rejected deliveries
Ensure compliance with World Trade Organization standards and national customs requirements.

We provide a comprehensive range of inspection, auditing, testing, and compliance services designed to support product quality, regulatory conformity, and supply chain reliability throughout every stage of the manufacturing and distribution process.

Pre-Production Inspection

First Article Inspections (FAI)

We perform detailed checks on the initial batch to confirm it meets all agreed upon specifications before full production is carried out.

In-Process Inspections (IPI)

We review your product during key production phases to maintain quality and detect defects in time.

Pre-Shipment Inspections (PSI)

We provide comprehensive pre shipment inspection services by checking quantity, packaging, appearance, labeling, and functionality before the shipment is initiated. A detailed report is shared with clients to support decision-making and initiate payment processes confidently.

On-Arrival Inspections

Available in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand, we inspect goods post-arrival to verify:

Product identification and quantity accuracy
Transit damage and packaging integrity
Labeling and regulatory compliance (e.g. MDA, AMDD)
Review of documentation (CoC, invoice, document list)
Assessment of storage and environmental conditions before local release.

Container Loading Supervision

Our inspectors supervise final loading to ensure products are accurate, protected, and secure. This helps your freight forwarder avoid delays or claims due to damage or mislabeling.

Supplier Audits

We assess supplier infrastructure, qualifications, and process control systems to identify risks and ensure ongoing compliance.

Function & Performance Testing

We confirm that certain products meet defined performance metrics. This step ensures operational safety and regulatory conformity.
