Confirm the inspection standard first
Use the approved quotation, product list, drawings, finish samples, hardware schedule, quantity, and agreed tolerances as the inspection reference. Unconfirmed preferences cannot be enforced as defects after production.
Check product and order evidence
Review item identity, quantity, key dimensions, material and finish, visible workmanship, stability, moving parts, hardware, glass or stone condition, electrical functions where applicable, and any approved sample comparison.
Check export readiness
Confirm carton or crate condition, corner and surface protection, moisture protection where required, labels, accessory packs, installation hardware, packing list, and loading sequence before release.
Common questions
Is a video call enough for furniture QC?
A video call can help, but a controlled record should also identify the item, quantity, key dimensions, visible condition, packing status, and unresolved exceptions.
Does visible QC guarantee there are no hidden defects?
No. Visible checks reduce risk but cannot guarantee hidden material, long-term performance, laboratory compliance, or damage after inspection and during transport.
What happens when an issue is found?
Record the issue against the confirmed standard, agree the correction or commercial decision in writing, and verify the result before shipment release.
