What is included
Checking imported goods from photographs, samples and documents: marking, packaging, set contents, purpose, condition and signs of being new or used.
The examination uses the submitted goods, photographs, samples, packaging, marking and documents: contract, agreement, technical specifications, item specification, product passport, instructions, delivery notes and correspondence.
What is checked
- conformity with the contract, technical specifications, item specification or agreement;
- quality, completeness, assortment and condition of the goods;
- marking, packaging, product passport, instructions, serial numbers;
- model, intended use, properties, dimensions and materials;
- defects, damage, signs of use or repair;
- accompanying and customs documents, if relevant to the question;
- substantiation of another examination's findings, if a review is needed.
Pricing
from RUB 35,000. The final fee depends on the number of goods, technical specification complexity, document volume, need for a site visit, number of questions and final report format.
Comparing product and document designations
An imported product may bear a trade name, series designation, model, item code, commodity heading code and individual serial number at the same time. Their purposes differ. One matching packaging code does not establish identical version, configuration and every property of the delivered unit.
Take legible photographs of designations on the goods, individual assemblies and packaging. List where each designation appears and the document it is compared with. Provide a translated product passport with its original: different translations of one term should not be presumed to describe different technical properties.
What to check when data conflict
- Does the product passport apply to this model and version?
- Does the packaging describe the same set as presented for inspection?
- Do the delivery note designations match the product's actual marking?
- Are records of assembly replacement, repair or repackaging available?
If the nameplate, box and documents differ, describe the discrepancy for each source. The mismatch alone does not establish substitution, counterfeiting or prior use. Such findings need relevant signs and further information, including available manufacturer data.
First identify what object was actually examined and what materials link it to the delivery. Then compare properties and condition with the agreed terms. This sequence also helps review an existing report: without reliable identification, it is difficult to know which goods the tests and findings concern.
