Pre-shipment inspection (PSI) in China is a quality control process that occurs before goods are shipped from a manufacturing facility or supplier in China to their destination, typically to an overseas buyer or importer. It is an essential part of international trade, especially when dealing with products manufactured abroad. The primary purpose of pre-shipment inspection is to ensure that the products meet the quality, safety, and regulatory standards specified by the buyer or the importing country before they are exported.
