Container sealing rules: intact load port seals avoid additional Customs resealing, with resealed units subject to full examination. Customs preventive officers need not affix an additional Customs One Time Bottle Seal (OTBS) where the load port OTBS applied by shipping lines is intact and its serial number has been communicated. Where load port OTBS is missing or tampered, Customs will reseal in presence of the custodian or shipping agent, sticker the container for 100% examination at CFS/ICD, record OTBS numbers, and report findings for supervisory orders. Shipping lines must correctly record seal and container details in the IGM and custodians must submit daily delivery schedules to Customs.
