Import With Certainty

Tested, Validated, Qualified

Why Import with Caetus

Your one and only stop for international import.

1) Quality assurance before shipment (not after the problem arrives)

Most import failures happen because parts weren’t verified until they landed. Caetus prevents that by inspecting in China using:

  • Metrology inspection (dimensions, tolerances, critical features)
  • Material / finish checks (visual standards, coatings, surface condition)
  • Functional checks where applicable (fit checks, assembly checks)
  • Sampling plans aligned to risk (first-article, in-process, pre-shipment)
  • Testing: Expert testing to in house test plans or harmonised standards

You get clear evidence: inspection reports, photos/video, measurement records, and sign-off checkpoints.

2) Boots on the ground in China

We don’t outsource the hard bit. We coordinate directly with factories and can attend:

  • First production runs / first-article inspections
  • In-process checks (before a batch drifts out of spec)
  • Pre-shipment inspections (PSI) and packing verification

This is especially valuable for tight tolerances, cosmetic requirements, mixed batches, or repeat orders where consistency matters.

3) Our own export company = fewer handoffs and tighter control

Export paperwork and booking mistakes are a major source of delays and unexpected fees. Caetus controls export execution because we own the export company, meaning:

  • Clear accountability for documentation and timelines
  • Fewer middlemen and fewer miscommunications
  • Better control of booking, packing lists, commercial invoices and export declarations
  • A smoother handover into UK/IE import clearance

4) One-stop shop from order to delivery

We manage the entire flow so you don’t have to coordinate five different parties:

  1. Specification & sourcing
  2. Quotation comparison and supplier verification
  3. Order placement and production tracking
  4. QA plan + inspection + lab verification
  5. Export documentation and shipping
  6. UK/NI/IE import clearance support
  7. Final delivery to your site (or onward distribution)

You get a single point of contact and a single controlled process.
