Reasons for Inspections in Different Countries-

• You may buy products from one big manufacturing company, but it may have factories in different countries. Then, you are forced to inspect the products at the factories in different countries.

• You may intend to diversify your supply sources to prepare for possible supply disruptions due to political events, natural disastrous, etc.

Choosing the Right Inspection Agency

There are many types of quality inspection agencies in the world. You need to choose the agency that has experience and knowledge on inspecting the categories of products that you are purchasing. Moreover, you need to check if the inspection company has real business presents such as offices or representatives locate in the countries. Many companies may rely on outside agents to handle the tasks for them and that can reduce their service reliability and response speed. 

Another important factor to consider is that you want to hire a one-stop solution provider that cover most Asia countries or the local company in a particular country. Depending on the scale of your operation and the diversity of your production bases. You may need an inspection service with regional present if your production bases spread across different countries. For example, if you purchase merchandises from China manufacturers and from Vietnam or Thailand too, you may better hire HKQCC as it has presents that cover all the mentioned countries. You may consider other international inspection companies, but they will certainly charge more. If you are focus on a single country, you may need a local inspection agent but beware you may need to expand to other countries soon or later.
