What is checked at the time of the loading of container(s)?

1. Conformity of products

The inspector can arrive a little in advance, open a few cartons, and check if the products and the inner packing are conform to what the buyer is expecting.

The objective is to ensure that the right kind of goods is shipped out. Of course he can only check a few samples of each SKU, so he might not notice if 30% of the quantity is broken. That’s why a random inspection on a higher number of samples (during production and/or after all is finished) is advised.

2. Outer packing

A quick look at the condition of export cartons is a must. The cartons might be very soft because of the wet weather, or already crushed/bulged, or not properly closed–these are all red flags for the buyer. What will cartons look like after several weeks in a container, and a few loadings/unloadings in trucks and distribution centers?

Other packing materials might be requirement by the buyer: palets, plastic wrap, etc. And for some large or fragile products, some dunnage (eg. inflatable bags, kraft paper…) might be necessary. Factories are always tempted to save a few pennies on such accessories, with potentially disastrous consequences.

3. Total quantity and breakdown

The inspector can count the whole quantity–it should be easy since it should all be packed in cartons. The number of cartons appears on the bill of lading issued by the forwarder, but this type of inspection also ensures that cartons contain the right quantity (and, if applicable, the right mix) of products.

4. The container(s)

When truck(s) arrive, the inspector takes a few minutes and examines the container(s) condition. If he sees potential leaks or other issues, he should report it immediately and (if possible) ask for another container.

5. The handling and the loading process

The inspector supervises the loading. The buyer might have sent a loading plan, or some simple directives (e.g. “the heaviest cartons at the bottom”).

He also makes sure the factory workers try to make all cartons fit nicely in the container. Sometimes they don’t take this pain, and they end up pushing (and crushing) cartons with a forklift…

6. The seal

The inspector verifies that a proper seal closes the container before the products are driven away from the factory. It also protects the exporter (under FOB or EXW terms), as it clarifies the responsibility of the forwarder.
