cargo survey

A cargo survey is an inspection process conducted to assess the condition and quantity of goods being transported by sea, air, or land. Inspectors, often called surveyors, check for proper packaging, damage, and compliance with safety standards. This process helps to ensure that the cargo is secure and will arrive in good condition, protecting both the shipper and the receiver. Cargo surveys are essential for claims and insurance purposes, as they provide documentation of the cargo's state at various points during transit.
