Container Security
Container integrity must be maintained to protect against the introduction of unauthorized material and/or persons. At point
of stuffing, procedures must be in place to properly seal and maintain the integrity of the shipping containers.
A high security seal must be affixed to all loaded containers bound for the U.S. All seals must meet or exceed the current
PAS ISO 17712 standards for high security seals.
Container Inspection
Procedures must be in place to verify the physical integrity of the container structure prior to stuffing, to include the reliability
of the locking mechanisms of the doors. A seven-point inspection process is recommended for all containers:
Container Seals
Written procedures must stipulate how seals are to be controlled and affixed to loaded containers - to include procedures
for recognizing and reporting compromised seals and/or containers to US Customs and Border Protection or the
appropriate foreign authority.
Only designated employees should distribute container seals for integrity purposes.
Container Storage
Containers must be stored in a secure area to prevent unauthorized access and/or manipulation. Procedures must be in
place for reporting and neutralizing unauthorized entry into containers or container storage areas.
