A shipment arrives from overseas — before it is booked into the warehouse or forwarded onward, test and inspection processes take place: goods are systematically checked at defined control points for conformity with specifications, quality standards, and regulatory requirements. Such checks typically occur at goods receipt, during storage, and prior to dispatch. Damage, defects, or deviations are identified early, before they escalate into claims or liability issues. In cross-border supply chains, standardized inspection protocols are frequently a prerequisite for customs clearance. Unlike quality inspection at the manufacturer's premises, logistics-based test and inspection processes cover the entire cargo movement — from receipt through to final delivery.
