Confirm the shipment
Share the destination, parts list and proposed loading arrangements. The applicable requirements, inspection scope and quotation are confirmed before the visit.
Check before packing
The inspector records the empty container and visually checks the intended parts against the packing list before loading begins.
Observe loading
Photographs document the loading stages and the goods being packed, helping establish a record of the consignment.
Record closure and report
Container closure and the final seal are photographed. The inspection findings are then assessed against the agreed requirements.
Inspection outcomes
Understand the result and next steps
The documents required depend on the destination scheme and agreed service. We confirm the reporting and certification arrangements before the inspection.
When an issue is found
Non-conformities are recorded and explained so you can understand what needs attention and whether corrective action or a further inspection is required.
Before you ship
A few useful details
Can every used spare part be imported?
Eligibility depends on the destination. Some parts may be restricted or prohibited, and a visual inspection alone cannot establish the safety or performance of every component. Send the complete parts list before booking so the applicable requirements can be checked.
Where does the inspection take place?
The inspection is normally arranged at the location where the consignment will be packed. The location, access and loading schedule are agreed in advance.
What documents should the importer prepare?
The packing list, commercial invoice and any inspection or conformity documents required by the destination should be available for clearance. Confirm the final document requirements with the importer or their customs representative.
Can I enquire about new spare parts?
Yes. Tell us whether the parts are new or used when you enquire, so we can confirm whether the requested inspection can be arranged and which requirements apply.
