Sample Pre-Shipment Inspection Report
What you receive with every container — dimension check, moisture content, glue bond test, face appearance, container loading photos.
Every container is inspected before it leaves the mill, and you receive a pre-shipment inspection report with photos before goods are sealed. This page explains our 6-step QC process and shows a sample report so you know exactly what arrives.
The 6-step pre-shipment QC process
- Book the inspection — QC is scheduled two working days before the planned loading date, so any issue can be corrected before the container is sealed.
- Define the checklist — dimensions, thickness tolerance, moisture content, glue-line bond, and face-appearance grade against your approved sample.
- Inspect at the mill — our QC team (and your third-party inspector, if appointed) checks panels off the production stack, not a prepared display.
- Test the glue line — for WBP plywood we run a boil test on random samples; the bond must hold with no delamination.
- Record and photograph — every measurement and a photo set (face, edge, stamp, loaded container) go into the report.
- Release or hold — only a passing lot is cleared for loading; a failing lot is reworked or re-graded before it ships.
Sample inspection report
Below is the format of the report you receive — values shown are an illustrative example for an 18 mm WBP commercial plywood order.
| Check item | Standard / tolerance | Result (sample) |
|---|---|---|
| Sheet size | 1220 × 2440 mm | 1220 × 2441 mm — Pass |
| Thickness | 18 mm (±0.5 mm) | 17.8 – 18.3 mm — Pass |
| Moisture content | ≤ 14% | 11.6% — Pass |
| Glue-line bond (boil test) | No delamination | No delamination — Pass |
| Face appearance | BB/CC | BB/CC — Pass |
| Squareness / warp | Within tolerance | Within tolerance — Pass |
| Quantity loaded | Per packing list | 1,250 sheets — Pass |
| Marking & packaging | ISPM-15 + label | Complete — Pass |
Third-party inspection
You are welcome to appoint SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek, or your own agent. We coordinate mill access and timing, and our in-house report is provided regardless — so you always have a documented record before you release the balance payment.
