What is the
Final Random Inspection?
The Final Random Inspection (FRI), also
known as Finished Quality Control (FQC), follows the DUPRO process
whereby approx. 4/5ths of the process has been completed and
products are ready to be packaged and shipped by your Chinese
supplier. This can also be
done once 100% of your order is ready to go. It is location
agnostic so we can perform this service at the factory, freight
forwarding office, or even at the port.
What do we look
for during the Final Random Inspection (FRI)?
During the Final Random Inspection, we
do a full-spectrum probing of your goods including (but not
limited to): appearance (or AQL), workmanship, size, weight,
functionality, appendages, artwork, packaging, packing and others
specific points from your QC checklist.
What FRI offers?
A Final Random Inspection provides a
stopgap during a critical window (i.e. preshipment inspection) to
make any alterations necessary for your order. We can help you
tackle supplier inspection issues so that you don’t have to worry
about them after you’ve received the goods.

Why should I request your FRI service?
Because this is
the last opportunity to inspect your product before it ships! Your
Asian factory or supplier may not be forthcoming about the actual
quality of your order.
