What is VOC?

VOC is a mandatory mechanism enforced by importing country governments, including:

  • Pre-shipment conformity verification through document review, product testing, physical inspection, and/or factory audit before goods enter the country;
  • Compliance with approved standards.

VOC Programme ensures that product quality and safety meet specifications, thereby protecting local businesses and consumers.

 

Benefits of VOC for Exporters

  • Provides quality and safety controls prior to export while safeguarding end-consumer interests;
  • Helps importers better select their suppliers;
  • Facilitates and accelerates customs clearance;
