Is it necessary to book a quality inspection when importing from Thailand?

The risk of quality issues is as high in Thailand as it is elsewhere, including China. You cannot easily (if at all) return defective products, and therefore it’s absolutely essential to get your product quality inspected before shipment.

Some importers are under the impression that quality issues only exist in China, and that ‘anywhere else’ is risk-free – but that’s not the case.

Further, many of the companies listed in this article are also headquartered in Hong Kong and Mainland China.
