Definition & Explanation
Customs officers, inspectors, and freight forwarders prepare an inspection report to systematically document the findings of checks performed on goods, shipments, or logistics processes. Beyond recording results, the report captures identified deviations, clearance decisions, and required follow-up actions, making it an essential traceability document in day-to-day supply chain operations. Compared to a brief findings note, an inspection report covers the full scope of the examination: procedure, parties involved, and measures ordered. It serves as key evidence in regulatory audits and quality management systems.
