FAQ

Common buyer questions.

What is AQL sampling and why does it matter?

AQL (Acceptance Quality Limit) is the international ISO 2859 standard. A batch of 10,000 units typically requires 200–300 unit checks depending on AQL level. Industry standard for statistical quality assurance.

How far in advance should I book?

5–7 working days notice ideal. 24–48 hours possible for urgent cases. Pre-shipment inspections should be scheduled for the final week of production.

Which countries do you cover?

Vietnam, China, Cambodia, Thailand, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia. Inspectors local to manufacturing hubs.

What's in the inspection report?

Photo documentation, written descriptions, measurements vs specs, functionality results, packaging & labeling check, overall pass/fail with recommendations.

Can you inspect multiple factories in one trip?

Yes — multi-site visits in the same region, consolidated reporting. Reduces per-inspection cost.

Do you offer ongoing inspection programs?

Yes — quarterly audits, per-shipment checks, continuous monitoring. Volume discounts and dedicated inspector assignments for ongoing partners.
