Hand-knotted carpets — EU retail buyer
The Challenge
A European retail buyer placed a large order of hand-knotted carpets from a Kathmandu workshop. With a container scheduled and payment tied to inspection, the buyer needed independent verification that the batch matched the agreed specification.
What We Did
Our inspector visited the workshop, applied AQL 2.5 sampling to the finished batch, and verified knot density, wool grade, dye fastness, measurements, and packing against the purchase order.
The Results
- Full photo-documented report within 24 hours
- Sizing variance identified before shipment
- Corrective action coordinated with the workshop
- Container released on schedule after re-inspection
[Insert real metric, e.g. defect rate reduction — do not fabricate]
