Inspection Shipment
Inspection Shipment
Final inspection, balance payment, export documents, Incoterms, forwarder coordination and shipment tracking are explained together.
Jump between the six order stages.
These process logos stay clickable here too, so buyers can move through the flow without going back to the main page.
Make balance payment and shipment transparent.
This page removes uncertainty: what is inspected, when balance is paid, which documents are prepared and how goods are released to the buyer or forwarder.
Show export files as a checklist.
- Commercial invoice and packing list.
- Bill of Lading or Air Waybill.
- Carton mark and packing photos.
- Inspection report or third-party inspection file.
- Certificate of Origin or market documents if needed.
Inspection, balance and shipping are one sequence.
Final inspection happens before release. Balance payment follows the PI and inspection result. Shipment booking then follows the agreed Incoterm.
