  • Labeling and Packing: The process of labeling and packaging products for shipment. Quality Control: The process of inspecting products to ensure that they meet certain quality standards.
  • Repackaging: The process of repackaging products to improve their appearance or to fit a different packaging standard.

  • Sorting and Grading: The process of sorting products by size, color, or other criteria, and grading them according to quality standards.

  • Testing and Inspection: The process of testing and inspecting products to ensure that they meet certain performance standards.

  • Product Configuration: The process of customizing products according to customer specifications.

  • Returns Management: The process of managing returned products, including inspection, sorting, and repackaging.

The VAS area is typically staffed by skilled workers who are trained to perform these value-added services efficiently and effectively.
