PCS International is an international operating surveying company specialized in cigarette and liquor inspections. Our clients are traders, forwarding agents, customs authorities and governments.
We have many years of experience in inspecting of cigarettes and liquors. The founder of the company, Mr. Patrick van Zundert, learned all the necessary during the period he was employed by a well-established Dutch forwarding & warehousing company. After he founded PCS International he developed new techniques to inspect cigarettes. Nowadays we can recognize most fake products and we can read 90% of all the production codes on cigarettes. Because of all this knowledge and our good reputation the inspections of PCS International have became to be the standard for a huge group of international traders in cigarettes and liquors. Some traders only close a deal if inspection by PCS International is involved.
The big difference between PCS International and other (reputable) surveying companies is the knowledge of the product and the market. We know which details are important to check and how to interpret the condition of the goods. Besides specifications and quantities our inspection reports are showing additional information like production codes, dates, condition, decoding details and most important it tells you if the product is genuine or counterfeit.
Working with PCS International gives you many advantages. It’s easier to sell products on the water if you can sell B/L & inspection report against payment. This could save you weeks of waiting. Why bring goods to Europe first and then ship them to the final destination? Let PCS International inspect at the port of loading and ship directly to the final port of destination.
Why running risks? The best protection against counterfeit, damaged, old or wrong products is an inspection by the experts.
