Who we serve
The same inspection evidence serves very different needs. Here is what our work delivers for each party to a trade transaction.
Government and regulatory authorities
We support trade administration, revenue assurance, compliance monitoring and supply-chain transparency with independent inspection evidence. Our activities assist in verifying:
- Physical quantity of imported or exported goods
- Product description and classification information
- Quality and condition
- Contractual and commercial documentation
- Compliance with applicable requirements
- Declared information against physical findings
- Shipment and cargo documentation
- Other parameters specified by the relevant authority
Where the applicable mandate allows, inspection information can support the assessment of trade-related fiscal obligations and help identify differences between declared and physically observed cargo characteristics. Our role is to provide objective evidence and professional reporting; regulatory and enforcement decisions remain with the authorities.
Importers and buyers
An independent inspection adds a layer of protection before, during and after a transaction. It answers the questions that decide whether a shipment is accepted:
- What was ordered?
- What was actually produced or shipped?
- How much was supplied?
- What is the physical condition of the cargo?
- Does the cargo correspond with the agreed specifications?
- Were there visible shortages, damage or discrepancies?
The resulting report gives buyers an independent factual record supporting commercial settlement, acceptance, claims management and supplier performance assessment.
Exporters and sellers
Inspection is equally valuable to the seller. Independent evidence that goods were prepared and presented in line with the contract helps:
- Demonstrate conformity with buyer requirements
- Establish quantity and condition at the point of shipment
- Document loading operations
- Reduce avoidable commercial disputes
- Support claims management
- Provide independent shipment records
- Strengthen confidence between trading partners
Traders, manufacturers, insurers and financiers
