Container Loading Check (CLC)

What is a Container Loading Check?

Container loading check or CLC is carried out during the loading of containers with your shipment. The CLC inspection ensures that the loading of your shipment is carried out in accordance with the internationally accepted rules and regulations.

The CLC container inspection is carried out right after the pre-shipment inspection and it ensures that your products are packed correctly and will not get damaged during the shipment process.

The loading supervision is carried out from a sample of the loading in accordance with the sampling procedures known as AQL or ISO2856-1 (ANSI/ASQZ1.4).

Why Container Loading Check is Important?

There is nothing more disappointing for the client to receive broken or damaged products and that too because of the loading company’s faults. As such, container loading inspection has multiple benefits for your business that you must not overlook. Here are a few ways that you will benefit from a professional container loading audit:

  • It greatly helps to avoid any broken/damaged products during transport.
