Process
How inspection runs
01
Checklist prep
Turn your spec into a product-specific inspection checklist with named critical / major / minor defects.
02
On-site inspection
AQL sampling at the factory, photo and video evidence, live functional tests where applicable.
03
Written report
Same-day summary, next-day full report. Clear pass / conditional / fail verdict.
04
Rework or release
If failed: rework plan agreed with the factory. If passed: release the shipment with confidence.
Why work with Hansen
A quieter kind of sourcing — the one you actually wanted.
Shenzhen-based, PRD-wide
On-the-ground presence across the Pearl River Delta manufacturing hub — factories are hours away, not oceans.
No hidden commissions
I work for the buyer, not the factory. Audits and quotes are transparent; incentives are aligned with your outcome.
Spec-to-sample, in writing
Product briefs, tech packs, and pre-production samples with clear acceptance criteria — not verbal promises.
Pre-shipment QC
Independent inspections against AQL and your own spec, with pass/fail evidence — before the container leaves.
Questions buyers ask
Frequently asked.
Can I book QC without using your sourcing service?
Yes. QC is offered as a standalone service, priced per man-day plus travel from Shenzhen.
What AQL levels do you use?
Default is 2.5 / 4.0 / 6.5 for major / minor / cosmetic. We adjust based on product category and your own risk tolerance.
What happens if the shipment fails inspection?
You get a written failure report and a rework proposal. I do not pressure buyers to release failed shipments.
Ready when you are
Need help sourcing from China?
A short brief and I’ll respond within one business day, Shenzhen time. No obligation, no upsell — just an honest read on whether I’m the right partner for your project.
Decision support
What you receive
The inspection is planned around the product specification and the decisions you need to make before shipment, rather than a generic checklist.
- An inspection checklist with measurable acceptance criteria and defect categories.
- On-site quantity, workmanship, function, packaging, labelling, and carton checks as relevant to the order.
- A written pass, conditional release, or fail recommendation with photo evidence and rework points.
How the AQL reference is used
Where sampling is appropriate, the plan can be discussed against ISO 2859-1 and then adapted to your order size, product risk, and own specification. AQL is not a substitute for product-specific requirements.
Scope boundary
A pre-shipment inspection describes the sampled order at the time of inspection. It is not a product certification and does not remove the need for regulatory testing where your market requires it.
