A Container Loading Check (CLC), also known as a Container Loading Inspection or Container Loading Supervision, is a quality control procedure conducted in China or other manufacturing hubs before shipping goods to ensure that products are properly loaded into shipping containers. This inspection is critical for preventing damage to goods during transit, ensuring accurate order quantities, and verifying that products are loaded securely and safely for international shipping.
