Inspection expectations should be visible before final quotation because they affect timing, cost, and supplier selection.

Common checks include material confirmation, dimensions, assembly, stability, finish defects, stitching, component count, packed size, and packaging review.

For retail programs, add barcode scan, label language, warning copy, carton mark, carton condition, and assortment count checks.

If third-party inspection is required, mention the sampling level, inspection date window, reference sample, and who approves the report.
