Pre-Shipment Inspections (PSI) generally include physical inspection for the purpose of verifying that the goods correspond to the documents provided in respect of: goods description, quantity and specification and the import regulations of the importing country (e.g. labelling, health, safety, etc.).
The physical inspection is carried out in the Country of exportation/supply of the goods and, whenever possible, in the manufacturer’s or supplier’s premises.
