Cargo examination handling should be conducted with adequate care, as custodians are expected to provide suitable facilities, skilled labour, equipment and examination infrastructure for unloading, de-stuffing, opening, re-packing and re-stuffing of consignments. The custodian should ensure such handling takes place in the presence of its representative and the importer's representative.
