Quantity and packing
Carton count, units per carton, gross and net weight, shipping marks, barcode scan test, and a carton drop test. Short shipments are found here, not at your warehouse.
AQL sampling
Units are drawn at random by an accepted sampling standard, with agreed limits for critical, major and minor defects. Agree the limits in the contract, before production — arguing about them after inspection never ends well.
Workmanship and specification
Measurements against the tech pack, colour against the approved sample under controlled light, stitching or joint integrity, material weight, and finish. Photograph every defect found.
Function and safety tests
Category-specific: wash and shedding tests for hair, colour fastness and shrinkage for textiles, rub and tear for leather, electrical safety and drop tests for devices.
Documents and loading
Labels, care and origin marking, certificates, and — where it matters — supervision of container loading with photographs of the sealed container and the seal number.
The rule that protects you
Report first, balance payment second. Inspection is booked and paid by the buyer, never by the supplier being inspected.
Questions buyers ask
When should the inspection happen?
Pre-shipment inspection when 80–100% of goods are produced and at least 80% packed. For large or first orders, add an in-line inspection at roughly 20–40% production.
What happens if the goods fail?
You have documented grounds to require rework and re-inspection before releasing the balance. Without a report you have an argument; with one you have leverage.
Does Amanect inspect factories it also sources from?
Inspection is carried out independently and reported to you in full, including findings that are inconvenient for the supplier. That independence is the product.
