- PIA inspection; usually we arrange with Customs and other Agencies to come to warehouse to inspect goods during loading. Most often than not, Customs and other Agencies can chose to rely on videos and pictures taken by PIA agents. This inspection usually involves weighing of the goods to confirm stated weights. Upon completion of inspection, the PIA will advise the authorized dealer bank, who issued the NXP on inspection report. Upon receipt of inspection from PIA, the authorized dealer bank will debit the consignee for NESS, and advise it to the PIA. PIA require NESS, to issue Clean Certificate of Inspection – CCI.
