Quality Control
Quality problems discovered after your goods arrive are expensive, time-consuming, and damaging to your business. Quality problems discovered during production in China are fixable at a fraction of the cost. Our quality control service puts our inspectors inside your factory at every critical stage of production — so defects are caught early, corrected on the spot, and your shipment only leaves when it meets your standards.
What's Included
- ✓Pre-Production Inspection (PPI) — verify materials and components before production begins
- ✓During Production Inspection (DUPRO) — check quality mid-run when 20–40% is complete
- ✓Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) — final check of finished goods before they leave the factory
- ✓AQL statistical sampling following international standards
- ✓Defect classification: critical, major, and minor
- ✓Measurement verification against your product specifications
- ✓Photographic evidence and a full inspection report within 24 hours
How It Works
Share Your Specs
Provide your product specifications, approved samples, and any known defect concerns. We create a custom inspection checklist for your product.
We Coordinate with the Factory
Our team contacts the factory directly to schedule the inspection at the right production stage — no need for you to chase or follow up.
Inspection is Conducted
Our inspector visits the factory and checks the goods against your specification and AQL standards, documenting all findings with photos.
Report & Decision
You receive a clear Pass / Fail report within 24 hours. If goods fail, we advise on corrective actions and can re-inspect once fixes are made.
Why Use SourcingGround?
Most importers only discover quality issues once the goods arrive — at which point the options are to sell defective products, return the shipment at huge cost, or absorb the loss. A pre-shipment inspection typically costs a few hundred dollars and can save you tens of thousands. It is one of the highest-return investments in your supply chain.
