Remarks:

  • First inspection charges will be paid by CEI.
  • If the inspection cannot be carried out at the confirmed date due to suppliers faults (e.g. insufficient quantity, packing or wrong inspection date/address etc.), then supplier must bear inspection charges.
  • If inspection is failed and re-inspection is necessary, then supplier must bear re-inspection charges.
  • The re-inspection charge is calculated as below:

    For Re-inspection
    Factory in CHINA Factory in TAIWAN
    Reinspection charge:
    1.37% of total order value
    Reinspection charge:
    2.25% of total order value
    For example: If your product price is 5.0 USD/pcs and the shipment quantity is 1000 pcs, then the total value is 5000 USD. If the inspection of this order is Pending/Failed and Re-Inspection is needed, then CEI will charge the supplier 1.37% x 5000 USD = 68.5 USD re-inspection fee. For example: If your product price is 5.0 USD/pcs and the shipment quantity is 1000 pcs, then the total value is 5000 USD. If the inspection of this order is Pending/Failed and Re-Inspection is needed, then CEI will charge the supplier 2.25% x 5000 USD = 112.5 USD re-inspection fee.

    NOTE: Flight ticket, long distance bus ticket and hotel fee will be added eventually if inspector has to use those transportations to reach factory in remote location.

  • In case supplier wants to postpone the inspection date, CEI-QA has to be informed latest 1 day before the inspection date between 09:00 - 18:00.
  • Any costs occurring to a shipment delay due to either a late inspection advice or a postponed inspection by the supplier or factory, must be borne by the supplier/factory.
