A pre-shipment inspection, also known as a Final Random Inspection, is a <\/span>quality check<\/span><\/a> carried out at the factory before your goods are loaded and shipped. It takes place when at least 80% of the production run is complete, giving inspectors access to finished goods while there is still time to fix problems.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
