Pre-shipment Inspection

PRE-SHIPMENT INSPECTION SERVICES FOR GOVERNMENTS

Polucon, as a trusted provider of pre-shipment inspection services, offers comprehensive solutions to governments in compliance with World Trade Organization (WTO) requirements. Our services combine confirmation of buyer specifications with quantity and value controls for imports and exports, assisting international trade operators in adhering to current legislation and enhancing business efficiency.

PRE-SHIPMENT INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Our expert team conducts a physical inspection of goods in the country of export before shipping, precisely determining their nature and characteristics. We meticulously examine the invoice and other relevant documents to assign accurate valuations and customs tariff codes. These, along with the published duty rates of the client country, are used to calculate the correct payable duties and taxes. Upon completion, we issue a Polucon pre-shipment inspection certificate to the importer.

By comparing the collected duty with the Polucon pre-shipment inspection certificates, any discrepancies or shortages can be promptly investigated and corrected, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
