Typical timelines
Tied to the production calendar. Plan several days’ notice on Java/Bali/Lombok; more if the factory is further out. Report typically within one business day of the visit.

Pre-shipment quality inspection
Before the balance payment and stuffing, we check the lot against your specification and send photos plus a pass/fail summary so you are not discovering finish or moisture issues after the container sails.
On request

- Inspection against your written spec (quantity, dimensions, finish, moisture, packing as applicable)

- 2
Scheduling
We align with the factory so the lot is actually ready — not a show line.
- 3
Inspection
On-site check, photos, immediate flag of serious findings.
- 4
Report
Written summary, usually within one business day of the visit, so you can release or hold the balance.
Who it's for
- Importers paying a deposit and wanting a check before the balance
- Buyers on a first or second order with a new factory
- Teams without their own QC staff in Indonesia
How engagement works
Priced per lot or bundled into negotiation/order-management. First-time inspections are usually a fixed visit fee after we see the spec and location.
Pricing approach
Per-lot inspection
Quoted after we see the spec, lot size and factory location. Travel outside Lombok/Bali/Java metro is extra.
With order management
Quality check before shipment is included in negotiation & order management: 5–8% of order value or retainer from €800/month.
Introductory “from” prices. The final fee is set after a written scope. Travel outside the Lombok, Bali and Java metro areas is billed separately. Not a binding offer.
FAQ
Is this a laboratory test?
No. It is a visual and measurement check against your spec, with moisture readings where that is part of the brief. Lab tests can be arranged via third parties on request.
What if the lot fails?
You get a clear list of deviations. Rework and a re-inspection can be scoped. We do not release or reject the shipment — you do.
Can inspection sit inside a retainer?
Yes. Ongoing order management can include QC; that is often a 5–8% order-value fee or a monthly retainer from €800.
