Stuffing Inspection China: Container Loading Supervision for FBA Importers | $169
Container stuffing inspection—also called loading supervision—is one of the most overlooked quality checks in China sourcing. You verify every detail of your product, then it gets loaded into a container and you never see it again until it arrives at your door. A stuffing inspection in China ensures that what gets loaded matches what you paid for.
What is stuffing inspection in China?
Stuffing inspection (also known as container loading inspection or loading supervision) is a third-party check performed while your goods are being loaded into a shipping container at the factory or warehouse in China. An independent inspector monitors the entire loading process to confirm carton count, carton condition, proper palletization, correct loading sequence, and seal integrity.
Why FBA sellers need container loading supervision
Amazon FBA inbound requirements are strict. A single crushed carton, incorrect pallet height, or missing label can trigger an inbound hold. A stuffing inspection catches these issues before the container seals:
- Carton count verification — match every carton against the packing list
- Carton condition check — identify crushed, wet, or poorly sealed cartons before loading
- Pallet compliance — verify height, weight, and stacking pattern meet FBA specs
- Loading sequence — confirm heavy cartons at bottom, first-destination goods loaded last
- Seal integrity — record container seal number and photograph after sealing

Stuffing inspection vs pre-shipment inspection
PSI (pre-shipment inspection) checks product quality before loading. Stuffing inspection checks the loading process after PSI passes. Many importers book both: PSI to confirm product quality, then stuffing inspection to confirm the shipment leaves correctly. Read our PSI China guide for more on pre-shipment checks.
