Understanding product inspection cost is essential for importers budgeting their quality control spend. At Tetra Inspection, we believe in complete pricing transparency — no hidden fees, no surprise surcharges, and no minimum commitments. Our inspection pricing starts at $240 per inspection in Asia and Africa, $340 in Latin America, and $440 in Europe — significantly lower than traditional inspection companies like major TIC companies, which typically charge $299–$499 per man-day. Unlike competitors who bill by the man-day and add travel, report, and admin fees on top, our flat rate includes everything: inspector dispatch, the full inspection or audit, a detailed photo-documented report delivered within 24 hours, and access to our AI-powered online management portal. For businesses with regular inspection needs, our subscription plans offer even greater value — save over 35% compared to pay-as-you-go rates with our Professional plan. Whether you need a single pre-shipment inspection or hundreds of inspections per month across multiple countries, our pricing scales with your business. No long-term contracts required. Compare our product inspection cost with any competitor and see why 2,000+ brands choose Tetra Inspection for reliable, affordable quality control.

Common Questions
Pricing FAQ
What does one inspection (man-day) include?
One inspection refers to one man-day at the factory. It includes the inspector's time on-site, travel within the local area, a detailed same-day report with photographs, and full access to your online dashboard. Up to 10 checkpoints are tested per inspection using Tetra Inspection's default report format.
Can I combine inspections across different countries?
Yes. You can combine inspections across several countries within the same plan. For example, use 3 inspections in China, 3 in Bangladesh, and 4 in Pakistan — all from the same monthly or annual subscription.
What if I need more inspections than my plan includes?
You can purchase multiple packs to satisfy your inspection volumes. For example, if you need 20 inspections per month, simply purchase two Monthly or Annual packs. Contact your account manager for volume-based custom arrangements.
Do unused credits roll over to the next month?
Monthly or yearly credits cannot be carried over to the next term. We recommend choosing a plan that matches your expected inspection volume. If your needs fluctuate, the Standard pay-as-you-go plan offers full flexibility with no commitment.
What is the difference between inspections and audits?
Inspections ($240 in Asia & Africa) cover product quality checks such as Pre-Shipment, During Production, and Container Loading inspections. Audits ($440 in Asia & Africa) are more comprehensive assessments including Factory Audits, Supplier Verification Audits, and Social Compliance Audits. Both include same-day reports and a dedicated account manager.
Are there any additional fees or surcharges?
The prices listed are all-inclusive — covering the inspector's time, travel, report, and platform access. The only exception is a 5% surcharge applied to clients who choose to pay after the service is completed. No other discounts can be combined with subscription plans.
