Pre Shipment Inspection

Pre-shipment inspection (PSI) of rice is a quality control measure conducted before the shipment of rice to ensure it meets the buyer's specifications. It involves a thorough examination of the rice by an independent inspector at the supplier's premises. Key aspects checked include:

Quantity and weight: Verification of the total quantity and weight of the rice.

Quality: Assessment of the rice's appearance, color, aroma, taste, and foreign matter content.

Moisture content: Measurement to ensure it's within acceptable limits to prevent spoilage.

Packaging: Inspection of the packaging materials and sealing to ensure proper protection.

Documentation: Verification of all necessary documents, such as invoices, certificates of origin, and health certificates.

PSI helps to protect the buyer's interests by guaranteeing the quality and quantity of the rice before it's shipped.
