Service Background

This is a dual-control solution comprising shipment quality verification immediately before leaving the production warehouse and direct supervision of the loading process onto transport vehicles. This service acts as the final checkpoint helping enterprises eliminate all risks of cargo discrepancy or damage during international delivery.

Vinacontrol’s services assist enterprises in:

✔ Affirming that the shipment strictly matches commercial documents.

✔ High-value or fragile orders: Requiring special loading and dunnage techniques to avoid loss.

✔ Multi-stage transportation: To confirm the pristine condition of goods and seals before the journey begins.

✔ Transactions between new partners: Requiring third-party witnessing to ensure transparency and honesty of the shipment.
