WHAT WE DO
Complete Quality Control for Nepal Imports
Whether you import carpets, cashmere, felt products, or handicrafts from Nepal, we are your independent quality partner on the ground.
Most requested
Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)
We inspect your finished goods right at the factory before they ship. Quantity check, quality check, packaging, defect rate — everything documented with 40–80 photos and videos. Your report lands in your inbox within 24 hours.
Learn moreMid-Production Inspection (MPI)
Why wait until the end to find problems? We visit when 30–50% of your order is done, catch issues early, and make sure they don't multiply across the rest of the production run.
Learn moreProduct Sourcing
Need someone on the ground in Nepal to handle sourcing end-to-end? Whether you want a sourcing agent or a turnkey supplier, we've got you covered. Supplier discovery, inspections, audits, QC — the whole package.

From Request to Report in 3 Simple Steps
01
Send Your Request
Just tell us what you need: factory name, product type, quantity, specs. Use the form on our site or drop an email to info@nepalts.com. We'll get back to you within 8 business hours — usually faster.
02
We Schedule the Visit
We sort out the visit date with your supplier directly. One of our inspectors heads to the factory — Kathmandu Valley trips are included in the price. Outside the valley? We tell you upfront what the travel costs.
03
Receive Your Report
Within 24 hours of the visit, you get a full inspection report packed with photos and video. Pass, fail, or conditional — with clear findings and exactly what to do next. Simple.

WHY NEPAL TRADE SOLUTIONS
Local Depth.
International Standards.
We work exclusively in Nepal. Full stop. That means deeper factory relationships, faster turnaround, and zero guesswork about what's actually happening on the ground — seasonal production cycles, local holidays, supplier reliability, the works.
Our founder has spent over a decade navigating Nepal's trade sector. Carpets, felt, pashmina, handicrafts — he's walked through workshops in Patan, Bhaktapur, and every corner of Kathmandu Valley. That kind of hands-on knowledge doesn't come from a spreadsheet.
Here's the thing: we're not a global agency that flies in for a day. We're based in Kathmandu. We know the factories, the backstreets of the workshop districts, and the right people to call. That local depth is what protects your orders.
