Quality Control
Catch problems in China, not at your customer's door — inspections, audits and testing.
See our Quality Control & Inspection →Quality Control When Importing from China
How to protect your reputation when importing from China — the inspection stages, what each catches, factory audits, lab testing and when to inspect.
Lab Testing & Compliance: CE, FCC, RoHS
What CE, UKCA, FCC, RoHS, REACH and CPSIA cover, why compliance matters, and how to verify supplier test reports before importing.
Factory Audits: Do You Need One?
A factory audit checks the supplier, not the goods. What it verifies, the main types, when it's worth commissioning, and when it's overkill.
Common Product Defects (and How to Prevent Them)
The product defects that wreck reviews and margin, and the spec-sheet, golden-sample and inspection playbook to stop them before goods ship.
Pre-Shipment Inspection: What It Is & When to Use It
What a pre-shipment inspection checks, the AQL concept, when PSI is worth it, and how it fits with during-production inspection.
