Why Amazon sellers inspect before they ship
When you sell on Amazon FBA, defective units, wrong labels or weak packing can mean returns, account risk and wasted freight. A third-party inspection in Asia gives you evidence before inventory moves to Amazon’s fulfilment network.
HKQCC supports US, UK and EU Amazon sellers with on-site inspections across China, Vietnam, India and Southeast Asia. Reports are issued within 24 hours after the inspection.
What an Amazon FBA-focused inspection covers
Your checklist is tailored to the SKU and Amazon requirements you provide. Typical checks include:
- Product quality — workmanship, function, appearance, measurements vs your approved sample
- Quantity & assortment — units and cartons vs PO
- Retail / FNSKU labelling — labels applied as instructed (per your file)
- Packaging — polybags, suffocation warnings, inserts, carton strength
- Barcodes — scannability of barcodes you specify
- Shipping marks — carton marks for the forwarder / Amazon prep instructions you provide
- AQL sampling — when a random inspection (FRI) is used
We inspect against your written instructions and samples. Amazon’s rules change; you remain responsible for providing the current prep and labelling requirements for your category.
