Inspection-report verification for Oman
LIFA identified a forged inspection report for an Omani buyer, arranged a genuine inspection and coordinated replacement pipe sourcing.
- The buyer
- A Muscat, Oman importer of building materials and fittings.
- The product scope
- PVC pipes and fittings; 2 containers, $94,000 order value.
What needed to change?
The supplier presented an "SGS-style" inspection report; verification with the inspection company showed no record; the report and inspection stamps were forged.
How LIFA managed the work
We verified the report number directly with the inspection company.
We arranged a genuine third-party inspection at the factory.
We negotiated new payment terms: inspection certificate before payment.
We qualified 2 alternative suppliers with verifiable inspection history.
The forged-report supplier was terminated; the genuine inspection revealed substandard pipes and the order was re-sourced; payment terms now protect all future orders.
From our company project database, with the work, approvals and results shown together.
What this project shows
An inspection report needs a verifiable issuer and matching order details. The genuine inspection then gave the buyer a basis for rejecting the goods.
Client identities, supplier contacts and confidential commercial terms are withheld from this public company record.
