Tetra Inspection

Tetra Inspection is an independent, third-party quality control and inspection company based in Hong Kong. It positions itself as a supplier-independent inspection partner for importers, brands, retailers and Amazon sellers, with the core promise that its inspectors work for the buyer rather than the factory. The company operates a network of local inspectors across major manufacturing regions in more than 45 countries, allowing it to conduct on-site inspections wherever goods are produced. Tetra Inspection's service range covers the main stages of a sourcing program: pre-shipment inspections, during-production inspections, container-loading inspections and factory audits. It also offers social compliance audits aligned with standards such as SA 8000, SMETA and BSCI, and factory audits that evaluate production capability and quality management systems against ISO 9001. Each inspection is delivered as a same-day digital report with photos, measurements and AI-powered defect analysis, with a stated turnaround of within 24 hours for photo reports and 48 hours for factory audit reports. The company markets transparent, flat-rate pricing starting from US$240 per man-day, with 48-hour scheduling that is often available within 24 hours in major regions, and no hidden surcharges or minimum order requirements. Clients manage engagements through a real-time client portal.
