Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate

Pre shipment inspection refers to the process of examining products to determine whether they conform to contract requirements, or to an industry specific standard or quality or fitness for the intended purpose of the buyer.  Testing is an element of inspection which involves using scientific methods and in some cases statistical sampling to determine the properties of the finished goods available for shipment to ensure that they function properly and meet the requirements or standards established by the parties in the contract.  If a product fails pre shipment inspection or testing, the buyer can demand correction of the deficiencies identified.  Failing that, the seller can avail itself of any remedy or recourse identified in the contract.  For example, if contractually permissable the seller can accept the non conforming goods at a reduced price.
