What is Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)?
A Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) is a systematic examination of units selected at random from all batches of your order, conducted when at least 80% of the goods are finished and packed. This is the final opportunity for global buyers to verify product quality, quantity, and compliance before the shipment leaves the factory floor in Pakistan.
When it happens
Conducted on-site once production is virtually complete. Our inspectors visit the facility in Faisalabad, Karachi, or Lahore to perform rigorous AQL testing.
Why it is critical
Risk reduction is the primary goal. We ensure that the goods paid for are exactly what will arrive, preventing costly returns and protecting your brand reputation.
