The supply chain has many weak points where damage can occur without proper planning. A “PASS” pre-shipment inspection may not detect problems that can occur during storage or loading into a container. A perfect shipping operation can't be achieved without proper container loading supervision and quality control. For brand owners and importers who are concerned about product damage during shipping or handling, GQC Container Loading Supervision is a right solution. This quality inspection is designed to provide a "hands-on" verification of goods delivered to the loading site, such as packing lists, actual container contents and/or inspection of cargo prior to loading; ensuring everything was correctly packed and no damage occurred during packing. The condition of the container is checked as well.
The container loading supervision is usually conducted under the international quality sampling standard ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 (ISO 2859-1) or as prescribed by the customer. The objective is to ensure that all goods being loaded onto the container meet the contract specifications and any additional requirements that may have been agreed upon in the purchase order.
Container loading supervision involves the following:
- Inspection of the container for holes, damage or wet spots
- Verifying that the contents of your shipment are properly packed and secured before loading them into the container.
- Checking that each item is properly labeled and tagged. This includes identifying hazardous materials and ensuring that they are properly marked as required by law.
- Properly securing all items in the container using straps or bands to prevent shifting in transit.
- Making sure that all items are properly stowed and secured within the container so as not to become loose during transit
