Dangerous Goods Export Step-by-Step

Build a supplier quality scorecard. My dimensions: product pass rate 40%, on-time delivery 25%, cooperation 15%, price 10%, response speed 10%. Any supplier below 80 for three months needs reassessment.

Different products need different inspection focuses. Metals: dimensional tolerance and finish. Electronics: functional testing and ESD. Textiles: color and defects. Ceramics: deformation and glaze. A one-size-fits-all checklist is unprofessional.

Communicating defects to factories requires diplomacy. Don't say 'Your products are all defective.' Present data, explain non-conformities, suggest rework solutions, and discuss cost-sharing. The goal is to solve problems, not blame.

Inspection is not a formality — it protects both you and your client. Common problems include surface defects, dimensional deviations, incorrect packaging, and mixed batches. Catching these before shipment saves you from claims.
