What should I do if the inspection report indicates a failed or pending status?

1. If the inspection report shows a pending status, you can view the pending results and decide if the identified points are acceptable and can proceed to shipment.

2. If the inspection report shows a failed status, you can review the documents and negotiate with the supplier on the relevant production issues or product replacement or request for a new inspection to be carried out to ensure the product quality is acceptable for shipment.
