Inspection Company in Kolkata — Jute, Leather & Tea
Independent QC across the eastern India industrial belt — jute products, leather goods, tea consignments, light engineering and Bhadohi carpets. AQL reports in 24 hours, Haldia & Kolkata Port loading supervision.
Why Kolkata Needs Specialist QC
Kolkata-Howrah dominates India's jute (90%+ of national output), tea trade and eastern leather goods exports — supplying buyers across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the US and Japan with category-specific quality requirements.
Risk areas are unique: jute fabric weight cheating, tea moisture and pesticide residue, leather chrome VI compliance and phyto-sanitary documentation gaps. They need inspectors with category-specific training.
Our Kolkata team covers all four disciplines with same-day scheduling and direct loading supervision at Kolkata Port (Kidderpore) and Haldia.
