CBP San Francisco Outlines Containerized Cargo Seal Enforcement

CBP will do an inspection when it encounters containers with seals that appear to be tampered with, said the CBP San Francisco field office in an information notice. CBP may also pursue penalty action against the responsible parties for missing and incorrect seal information and for manifest discrepancy, it said. Maritime containers in transit to the U.S. by vessel are required to be sealed with the seal meeting the ISO/PAS 17712 standard.
