|  | | Container sealing for US bound maritime cargo |
|
ĦĦĦĦAs of Oct.15th , US Customs & Border Protection will require that all laden containers entering the US by sea must have seals which meet the ISO/PAS 17712 standard. This ruling is in effect for all cargo bound for the US, whether as a destination or passing through the country. In addition, details of seal numbers must be included in the Vessel Automated Manifest System (AMS) sent to the CBP at least twenty-four hours before the ship's departure for the US.
ĦĦĦĦThe ISO standard states that seals must not only be strong, but also uniquely and irreversibly marked; seals which are compliant with the standard are subject to tensile, shear, impact, and bending tests.
