U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) recently released a draft guide for container seal best practices, outlining recommended procedures for different links and activities within the supply chain.
The guide includes procedures for
- U.S. importers
- exporters
- manufacturers
- consolidators
- cross border highway carriers
- domestic highway carriers (in the U.S. and abroad)
Despite the fact that CBP has labeled this a “draft” version, the guide is surprisingly thorough, covering procedures from the point of sealing, to the point of receipt.
