Export Pre-inspection

Export Pre-inspection (EPI) is an important service for goods exported from China to other countries all over the world. The objective is to have goods inspected and cleared efficiently under the Chinese and foreign regulations in order to avoid risks, delays, inconveniences and costly mistakes.
