Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is a container seal?

A container seal is a device used to secure shipping containers, ensuring that the contents remain intact and untampered with during transit. These seals provide clear evidence of tampering if broken or removed.

What to do if a container seal is broken?

If a container seal is broken, it is crucial to report it immediately to the relevant authorities or the responsible party. This ensures that any potential tampering or theft can be investigated, and the integrity of the shipment can be assessed.

Who is responsible for container seals?

The responsibility for container seals typically lies with the shipper or the freight forwarder. They must ensure that the container is properly sealed before transit and that the seal number is documented for verification. Customs officials may also apply their own customs seal during inspections at border posts; if so, it is important that customs seals are not removed without the prior approval of the relevant local agencies.

What are the benefits of using high-security seals?

High-security seals offer enhanced protection against tampering and unauthorised access. They are designed to withstand attempts at removal or tampering, providing a strong barrier and clear evidence if compromised. This is essential for securing high-value shipments and meeting customs requirements.

What are the different types of security seals?

There are several types of security seals, including bolt seals, cable seals, plastic seals, and barrier seals. Each type offers varying levels of security, with bolt seals and cable seals typically providing higher security for shipping containers, while plastic seals serve as cost-effective solutions for lower-risk applications.
