Electronic container e-sealing mandated progressively for entitled exporters, then across specified ports, and ultimately for all ports and ICDs. The Board mandates phased implementation of RFID electronic sealing for exporters: entitled exporters with RFID seals may voluntarily adopt the e-sealing procedure at approved premises where readers exist until the interim deadline; thereafter e-sealing becomes mandatory for exporters permitted self-sealing, AEO exporters, and exporters availing supervised stuffing at specified Ports/ICDs. Full container load stuffing at approved premises will be subject to mandatory e-sealing for all Ports/ICDs from the final deadline. Field formations must familiarise officers with equipment and training will be arranged; Ports/ICDs without readers must notify the Board within the prescribed notice period.
