[speaker001:] Oh, this is Monica
[speaker002:] OK. Commodity inspection is really an important part of our trade contract.
[speaker001:] Yes. Let's first define the inspection right.
[speaker002:] Following the rules of world business, the exporters have the right to inspect the goods before the delivery, while the importers have the right to re-inspect the goods after their arrival.
[speaker001:] Would you tell me how the inspection is conducted before shipment and by which agency?
[speaker002:] Inspection is to be done by the China Commodity Inspection and Testing Bureau. Usually inspection is conducted within five days before each shipment.
[speaker001:] And can you tell me about the re-inspection?
[speaker002:] Yes. The re-inspection should be made within seven days upon the arrival, and if any discrepancy is found, the claim must be raised within one month.
[speaker001:] I see. How do they make testing and analysis of this item?
[speaker002:] They always use the standard and method laid down in the contract.
[speaker001:] What if the results from the two inspections do not coincide with each other?
[speaker002:] A seminar of technical specialists including the surveyors from both sides will be held to clarify which result is correct.
