Our Pre-Shipment Inspection Procedure
Here is the step-by-step pre-shipment inspection procedure that SQI follows:
• SQI conducts a physical inspection of goods in the country of export before shipping to identify the type of products.
• After completing the physical inspection, our expert team reviews all documentation, including the invoice. This allows us to provide an accurate valuation estimate.
• Next, we assign a custom tariff code, which helps us inform our customers about the duties and taxes they will need to pay by comparing the applicable duty rates in the client’s country.
• Before clearing the goods, we ensure that full payment has been received. Once we confirm that payment is complete, SQI issues a certificate to the importer.
• The SQI certificate serves as a reference point for calculating the actual duty. This empowers SQI to respond quickly to shortages and resolve any issues to clear the shipment as efficiently as possible.
