Services > Preshipment Inspections > Export and Import Goods

Export goods are usually inspected at the factory where the goods are produced, or during the transportation, or while loading on the ship, containers, railway wagons etc. 

As to imports, considering the high costs of the cargoes and their transportations, import goods are inspected at each stage of transfer of the goods to the importer’s warehouse, at which times samples are taken and tested according to the relevant standards and norms.

The complete inspection report, including a concise description of the cargo in question, its condition as found by the inspector(s), and also the cause and the extent of damage, will be prepared. These items of information help the importer to reduce the extent of damage if any, or take action in case any discrepancies have been found.

IGS, through its qualified and experienced inspectors who are stationed in almost all ports of Iran, both on the southern and northern coasts, and also through its cooperation with Inspectorate throughout the world, provides the most accurate and at the same time the fastest inspection services for both export and import cargoes, and whenever the cargo agrees with the required specifications, it issues certificates which are approved for internal purposes (within Iran) by Iranian Standardization and Industrial Research Institute (ISIRI).  For use outside Iran, certificates are issued by Inspectorate, which is acceptable internationally and is also supported by and approved by the Central Bank of Iran
