What a surveyor actually establishes
Hold or container cleanliness and dryness, absence of prior-cargo residues and odours, packaging integrity, stowage, weight determination by draft survey or weighbridge, and observed condition at the moment of loading or discharge.
Timing determines usefulness
Damage identified during discharge, with photographs and a signed report, supports a claim. The same damage discovered a week later in a warehouse is contested territory. Book inspection to coincide with the transfer of risk.
O que verificar
- —Inspection scope and standard agreed in writing before shipment
- —Hold/container cleanliness certificate and prior-cargo history
- —Photographic evidence with timestamps
- —Weight determination method and any discrepancy noted at discharge
Riscos típicos
- —Prior-cargo contamination in bulk holds
- —Wet damage during loading in rain
- —Short weight discovered without contemporaneous evidence
Erros comuns
- —Appointing an inspector nominated solely by the counterparty
- —Relying on photographs without a formal report
Perguntas frequentes
Is inspection worth the cost on smaller parcels?
Judged against the value at risk, inspection is usually a small fraction of the potential loss on any container-scale or larger shipment, and it is the difference between a documented claim and an argument.

Sampling is the largest source of error in feed-ingredient testing; a valid result requires many small increments combined into a representative composite, taken to a written plan.
Transport conditions — mode, container type, ventilation, lining, stowage and transit time — determine whether specification survives the journey, and they belong in the contract, not in an assumption.
Packaging is a technical specification: material, weight, liner, sealing, palletisation and marking determine whether the product arrives at specification and can be traced and handled safely.
