Pre-shipment inspection
Before the supplier releases goods, we check appearance, dimensions, color, count, packaging, barcode or FNSKU location, carton marks, and customer checklist items.
Product inspection in China
Inspect products before supplier release, FBA prep, or DTC fulfillment.
Use PrepPort as your China-side eyes for pre-shipment checks, inbound QC, packaging and label verification, sample inspection, photo evidence, defect holds, and release or rework decisions.
What we check
Inspection scope is built around your product, supplier stage, sales channel, and next destination.
Inbound and batch QC
After arrival at the China warehouse, we inspect selected cartons or samples, record defects by severity, hold problem batches, and route rework before prep or dispatch.
Packaging and label checks
For Amazon FBA, Shopify, wholesale, or marketplace orders, we verify label placement, warnings, inserts, carton marks, packing requirements, and shipment readiness.
Inspection workflow
Designed to keep decisions auditable before you pay the balance, approve shipment, or release stock into fulfillment.
1. Submit checklist
Send supplier reference, SKU, product name, quantity, sample size, next destination, checklist, tolerance, and deadline.
2. Inspect and hold
We receive or visit the batch, sample units, capture photos, document pass/fail notes, and hold stock when issues need owner approval.
3. Decide next action
Customer-safe status shows release, rework, supplier claim, deeper compliance review, or additional sampling recommendation.

FAQ
Inspection is designed to create a clear decision trail before inventory moves into prep, storage, or fulfillment.
Can PrepPort inspect goods before supplier release?
Yes. Submit supplier reference, SKU list, sample size, checklist, and deadline so PrepPort can inspect before final supplier release, warehouse intake, FBA prep, or DTC fulfillment.
What evidence does a QC report include?
Reports can include photo evidence, quantity notes, defect examples, packaging and label checks, pass or hold status, and practical rework recommendations matched to your checklist.
Does inspection automatically approve shipment?
No. Inspection produces operational evidence and a release or rework recommendation. Approval, compliance, disputes, payment, and shipment release stay human-reviewed.
