Once a container leaves the supplier's yard, every defect becomes a dispute rather than a correction. Pre-shipment inspection is the last controlled moment — and often the only independent evidence that exists if a claim is later contested.
What gets checked
Quantity against the packing list, condition and completeness of the goods, correct marking and identification, adequacy of export packing and preservation for the intended voyage, and seal numbers recorded against the shipping documents.
