Inspection & survey
Pre-shipment inspection, sampling and survey services
Our inspectors check quality, quantity, packing and labelling, draw representative samples and supervise container loading at factories, warehouses and ports, giving exporters and buyers an independent view of every lot.
Third-party inspection
What is pre-shipment inspection?
Pre-shipment inspection is an independent check of goods before they are shipped, covering quality, quantity, packing, labelling and sampling, so the buyer and seller know the lot matches the contract before the container is sealed.
Accurate Universal Laboratories offers impartial, technically competent inspection services for manufacturers, exporters, importers and buyers. Our inspectors work at manufacturing facilities, warehouses, ports and distribution points, following national and international sampling standards.
Because we are also a testing laboratory, samples drawn during inspection can go straight to our lab for residue, aflatoxin, microbiology and quality testing, giving you inspection and test results from one provider.

Importance of inspection
