Hi John,
You are right, inspection of the importing parts is very important.
Normally there are two methods, one is to recruit an staff to do the inspection, also other things you signed;
the other is to contract with 3rd party inspection in China, such as SGS and many others, only do inspection or auditing for your parts.
Which one will be suitable for you? It depends on your business. If you only have one or several business in China, you can consider the 3rd party, if you have long-term business, I believe, to recruit a staff is better.
It's easy to understand this choice. The main idea is comparing your cost and margin, and also should consider other factors such as service, lead-time, and so on.
Sometimes, the part-time employees also can be considerred.
