Quality · documentation

Quality and documents, on record.

The specification is the contract, and the documents govern the trade. This is the framework behind every Torix shipment: who is qualified, what gets inspected, which documents travel with the cargo, and how issues are resolved when they arise.

The framework · 01

Three controls, every trade.

Quality is engineered before production, checked during it, and documented after it, with one desk accountable at each control point.

01 · SUPPLIER QUALIFICATION

Qualified before quoted.

Production lines are assessed on technical capability, capacity, certifications and export experience before they enter a quotation. Manufacturer certificates and test reports are shared for the selected line at quotation, final certification availability is confirmed for the selected manufacturer, never assumed.

02 · INSPECTION PER AGREED SCOPE

Checked the way the contract says.

Quality inspection may be performed by the factory, by Torix, or by an agreed independent inspection company, the scope is fixed at contract stage: what is checked, at which production points, against which acceptance criteria. The inspection record joins the shipment file.

03 · CLAIMS COORDINATION

One desk drives resolution.

If a documented quantity, specification or transit issue arises, Torix coordinates the manufacturer, surveyor, insurer and logistics parties to resolution. The matched document set, specification, inspection record, packing list, photographs where taken, is what makes a claim resolvable.

The documents · 02

The document set that moves the trade.

The cargo moves on the vessel, ownership and money move on documents. Torix produces and matches the set on every shipment, built for the destination's entry requirements.

DOC 01 · KEY
Bill of Lading (BL)
Receipt, contract of carriage and document of title in one, the instrument that controls release of the cargo at destination, endorsed per the contract.
DOC 02
Commercial Invoice
Goods, quantity, unit price, total, payment terms, Incoterm. Customs valuation at destination is based on this, it must match the BL and packing list exactly.
DOC 03
Packing List
Itemised by package: crates, dimensions, gross and net weight, container numbers, what the carrier loads against and customs verifies against.
DOC 04
Certificate of Origin
Issued per the origin country's chamber practice, the origin customs reads at entry, and the basis for any origin-linked treatment the destination applies.
DOC 05
Insurance Certificate
Marine cargo cover arranged per transaction, in assignable form where the Incoterm calls for it, so cover follows title when the BL is endorsed.
DOC 06
Inspection Record
The record of the agreed inspection scope. Prima facie evidence of cargo condition at shipment, and the reference document for any later claim.
DOC 07
Factory Test Certificate
Issued by the producing line against the contracted specification, electrical performance for cells and modules, optical and tempering data for glass, coating reports for frames and mounting.
WHERE REQUIRED
Origin & Traceability File
Solar remains one of the most compliance-sensitive product groups in world trade. US UFLPA enforcement continues to require supply-chain traceability on solar imports, AD/CVD orders make origin selection a duty question, and the EU is phasing in forced-labour and carbon rules of its own. Where your destination requires it, Torix prepares the origin and traceability file with the manufacturer as part of the shipment documents.
Destination compliance · 03

"The buyer is the importer of record. Our job is a document set that gives customs no reason to pause."

Every destination reads an entry file differently. As of July 2026, the questions we prepare for most often are US supply-chain traceability under UFLPA, US AD/CVD origin exposure on solar cells and modules, EU CBAM emissions data on aluminium and steel articles, and destination certification regimes. Torix's role is operational: select manufacturers the destination will accept, prepare the origin documentation, and hand your broker a matched file that clears without queries. Requirements are confirmed per transaction at quotation.

Torix does not give legal or tax advice. Customs classification, duty treatment and import-tax positions remain the buyer's responsibility, with their advisers, our documents are the foundation they file on. See the trade disclaimer for the full statement.
