Quality control of goods in China QA / QC before shipment
What is Quality Control (QA / QC)
Quality control is the inspection of goods before shipment from China.
We check:
- compliance with the sample and technical specifications
- batch quantity and completeness
- appearance and presence of defects
- packaging, markings, and readiness for shipment
You understand in advance what exactly will be shipped, reducing the risk of returns and losses.
When is quality control mandatory?
- For wholesale purchases and large quantities for marketplaces
- For OEM/ODM production
- For the first order from a new supplier
- For packaging and labeling requirements
- Before payment of the balance and shipment
What does quality control provide?
- Understanding the actual condition of the product
- Reduced defects and mis-delivery
- Savings on returns and complaints
- Protection against substitutions and discrepancies
Why problems arise without inspection
- Photos from the factory do not reflect the actual quality
- Defects are discovered after delivery
- Errors in colors, materials, and packaging
- Size and shade discrepancies within a batch
- An approved sample does not guarantee the quality of the entire batch
- Non-compliance with marketplace requirements
How Forward Union conducts quality control
- We check the quantity, condition, and appearance of the product
- We verify compliance with the sample and specifications
- We check the sizes, colors, materials, and components
- We record defects and discrepancies
- We produce photo and video reports

The cost is calculated individually and depends on the batch parameters, the complexity of the product, and the location of the inspection.
The price is agreed upon before work begins.
