Yes, you are correct. The audit will be performed on the houses packing the product for the receiver (wholesaler, chain store, brokerage or shipper) based upon their specs. I remember my years in Philly, working as a USDA inspector for the Chilean fruit deal. Many of the importers used private inspectors, surveyors and expeditors that were charging big money to inspect the fruit at dockside. Most of them were hired off the street, had little training, and offered little expertise.....as they charged their 2 to 2.5 cents per package IPT will audit the inspectors or quality control staff in packing houses and issue a final audit report covering the entire quality control process, from the dump tank, through the grading line, to the finished product.

You will perform an audit based on my specs (size, firmness, ripeness, sample frequency, temps, anything I request). What kind of report will I ge when it is all said and done? Have you ever done these type of audits before? Sounds great!
