Third-party QC inspections in China
Your eyes on the factory floor — before you wire a cent.
Factory audits, pre-shipment inspections and container loading supervision, anywhere in China. One flat rate — $149 per man-day — bookable online in 3 minutes, report in your inbox 24 hours after the inspection.
The honest math
Same factory floor. A fraction of the invoice.
Pre-shipment inspection pricing, per man-day, across the industry. The giants are excellent — and priced for corporations with procurement departments. We are priced for the person actually wiring the money: you.
Corporate sales process, minimum engagements, built for enterprises — not for your 500-unit order.
Strong platform, premium price, upsell-heavy corporate machine.
Quote-only pricing and email ping-pong before you ever see a number.
The price is on the homepage. Book online in 3 minutes. Talk to a human, not a sales funnel.
Competitor figures from published man-day rates, July 2026. Actual quotes vary by order.
Why importers switch to us
Big-network muscle, one-person accountability.
The price is on the homepage
Every competitor hides behind "request a quote" and a sales call. We publish a flat $149 per man-day with an instant calculator. Showing the number is the loudest trust signal in this industry — so we show it.
1,000+ inspectors, matched by category
Our network covers every manufacturing province in China. Electronics orders get electronics inspectors; machinery gets machinery inspectors. Salaried professionals, not gig freelancers.
Run to ex-SGS standards
Founded by a QC veteran with 10 years in the industry, trained inside the world's largest inspection company. The checklists, the AQL discipline, the report structure — the big-firm method, without the big-firm invoice.
A human answers, in your language
No ticket system, no account manager roulette. You message, the person who dispatches your inspector replies — in clear English, on email or WhatsApp, usually within the hour.
Speed as the product
Book in 3 minutes. Inspector confirmed within 24 hours. On site within 24–48. Report the next day. The industry norm is a week of email ping-pong before anything moves.
Proof nobody can copy
Every photo on this site is a real inspection from our network — not a stock image. Your report looks the same: 50–150 timestamped photos from your actual factory floor.
What we do
Three services. One flat rate.
Every service is $149 per man-day, all-inclusive. Most orders need exactly one man-day.
01Factory Audit
Verify the supplier before you wire the deposit.
Before committing to a new supplier — or before a large order with an existing one.
02Pre-Shipment Inspection
Catch the defects while the goods are still in China.
When production is at least 80% complete and goods are packed or nearly packed — before the balance payment.
03Container Loading Supervision
The right goods, in the right quantity, sealed — witnessed.
On loading day, at the factory or warehouse, while your container is being filled and sealed.
The process
From booking to report in about 72 hours.
Book in 3 minutes
Pick your service, tell us about the order and the factory. The price shows before you commit to anything.
Confirmed within 24h
We match a category-specialist inspector near your factory and send a secure card payment link. Your slot locks on payment.
On site in 24–48h
The inspector walks the floor, samples to AQL, tests, counts, photographs everything. Your supplier experiences a professional, not a tourist.
Report within 24h
A detailed English report with 50–150 photos and a clear verdict lands in your inbox — while the goods are still in China and the leverage is still yours.
Field evidence
Real inspections. Real factories. Zero stock photos.
Straight from recent jobs across our network. This is what "someone checked your order" actually looks like — and what your report will look like too.
Sample reports
See the report before you book the inspector.
Real reports from real jobs — identities withheld, structure untouched. 50–150 photos, every check documented, a clear verdict. This is what lands in your inbox 24 hours after the inspection.

Canton Fair 2026: how to verify the 40 suppliers you just met
You flew home from the Canton Fair with 40 name cards and a week of polished follow-up emails. Here is the three-tier system — registry checks, video walkthroughs, on-site factory audits — that separates real factories from trading companies before your deposit moves.
Read itThe anatomy of a failed inspection: what 12 months of defect reports have in common
We pulled the defect records from a year of real pre-shipment inspections — 81,000 units across footwear, appliances, toys, electronics and industrial steel. The failures cluster in the same few places every time. Here is the data, the AQL math behind one failed 50,000-piece order, and what it means for your next shipment.

Who's behind this
Ten years in QC. From SGS order manager to market development manager. Built this for the importer the giants ignore.
Import QC was founded by someone who spent a decade inside China's quality-control industry — years at the world's biggest inspection company, from order manager to account manager to market development manager — and watched small and mid-size importers get priced out, slow-rolled, or handed to junior staff.
So he built the service he would have wanted as a buyer: big-network reach, flat honest pricing, and one person who picks up the phone.

One flat rate. One accountable human. One report that tells you the truth before the balance payment leaves your account.
