The hardline industry is incredibly diverse, and as such, quality control and assurance can vary across different manufacturing processes. With everything from toys to furniture falling under the hardline banner, it’s easy to understand why standards are varied and complex dependent on the destination market. At Global Inspection Managing, our online platform is designed to make it simple for hardline importers to use bespoke checklists to ensure products meet all relevant safety requirements. These checklists can then be cross-referenced by on-site auditors to ensure each unique product you import is produced to comply with international safety standards.
Global Inspection Managing can help to ensure the following hardline products are safe and of a high quality:
• Promotional products
• Toys and other recreational items
• Consumer electronics
