What should we do if the lead seal of container is damaged when it is used?

One of the most widely used lead seals in containers is high seal. Because high seal is the most tensile one, the value of goods on containers is relatively high. Therefore, whether the lead seals on containers are in normal use needs to be paid great attention. So how to deal with the damage when the lead seals on containers are used?

If it is found that the lead seal of the container is damaged due to various special reasons after leaving the factory, the container driver should inform the factory immediately. The factory arranges the responsible personnel to go to the designated place, pry open the container, take a careful inventory of the goods, carefully observe whether there are leaks or surplus items, and inquire about the reasons for the damage of the cargo transport driver. In addition, the factory should seal the container. If there is a spare high-envelope that meets the requirements, the spare high-envelope should be sealed and several clear photographs should be taken at the same time. The forwarder should provide a new high-envelope number, notify the change of the loading record, change the new high-envelope seal, and inform the customer of this situation.

After the container arrives at the port of transport, it is necessary to carefully check whether the information in the port of entry coincides with the information in the packing list retained by our company. If any discrepancies are found, immediately inform the forwarder and find out the reasons. Whether the lead seals of containers can be used normally or not should be highly valued by the responsible persons concerned, so that they can deal with the problems timely and correctly when accidents occur.
