04 Nov Container Seal Handoff
A capsule house container seal handoff records the container and seal references, application point, custody transfer, exceptions and the next verification event. It helps shipping teams detect a mismatch without treating a number copied from an email as physical verification.
Follow applicable carrier, customs, terminal, security and contract procedures. Authorized parties determine when a seal may be applied, inspected, replaced or removed.
Fix the Shipment Reference
Record the order, shipment, container, booking and transport document references, loading location, responsible party and applicable procedure.
Build the Seal Handoff
| Field | Record | Question |
|---|---|---|
| Seal | Number and type reference | Was it physically checked? |
| Application | Place, time and authorized person | Is evidence retained? |
| Custody | Releasing and receiving parties | Was transfer confirmed? |
| Exception | Mismatch, damage or replacement | Which procedure applies? |
| Next check | Location, owner and evidence | Who verifies it next? |
Stop on a Mismatch
Do not silently correct a number or continue the chain when the physical seal, document or container reference differs. Preserve evidence and follow the authorized exception route.
Close the Chain
At each permitted opening or replacement, retain the old reference, reason, authority, new seal and notification history.
Use the export packing reconciliation for shipment scope and the transit damage handoff for receiving exceptions. Contact Rovellc for available shipment records within the agreed supply scope.
