In today’s world of trade, success is triggered by the ability to offer the right products at the right time complying with the exact requirements. 

With increasing globalization, the risk of products and materials not being delivered on time and/or lacking the quality agreed upon grows. At the same time business partners in different parts of the world have the common need for a guarantee that ordered components, materials and equipment align with given specifications.

As a result, governments implement Pre-Shipment Inspection programmes and PVoC (Pre-Export Verification of Conformity) Programmes to ensure that imports comply with their national regulations. As a reliable conformity assessment body, TÜV Rheinland works as a gateway for global trade by helping governments fulfil national & International requirements and traders to navigate the complex regulatory requirements as well as achieve a smooth customs clearance process in global trade.

On the other hand for many companies, international trade is a mainstay. Traders (buyers, seller or manufacturers) often demand the goods to be inspected in terms of quantity, quality or price in order to mitigate any risk or none fulfilment of the Contractual agreement. TÜV Rheinland is the reliable partner in today's globalized world of trade to achieve confidence on your transacted goods. Commercial inspection is a service in the global trade that serves the smooth movement of goods. Our Commercial inspections service can be conducted in connection with a letter of credit or any industry relevant requirement to ensure that the supplies from the exporting countries are according to traders requirements.
