Type of Cargo
Before Packing
Outside of Container
Are there no holes or cracks in walls or roof?
Do doors operate properly?
Do closing devices operate properly?
Are there no adhesive labels from the previous cargo?
Inside of Container
Is the container watertight? Test method: enter the container, close both doors tightly and look for incoming light (e.g. through cracks, holes, door gaskets, etc.)
Is the container interior absolutely dry? (Wipe up any condensation or white frost in order to avoid corrosion and moisture damage of the cargo.)
Is the container clean, free of cargo residue and neutral in odor?
Are there no nails or other protrusions which could damage the cargo?
After Packing
Is the container packed appropriately for the cargo and anticipated transit stresses?
Is a copy of the packing list placed in a highly visible location inside the container?
Is lumber used as a packaging material?
It may, under certain circumstances, be necessary to comply with the quarantine regulations of the country of destination and a phytosanitary certificate or proof that the lumber has been treated may have to be placed conspicuously in the container. Information may be obtained from the phytosanitary authorities of the countries concerned.
Are the doors and, if applicable, roof covering carefully closed? (Strong steel wire cables, padlocks or high-security seals provide protection from cargo theft.)
Are closures secured with metal and other seals in order to reduce the risk of theft?
