High Security Seals

Overview

APL recommends that importers secure their containers with high security seals that meet ISO/PAS 17712 standards. Containers destined for the United States are required to use high security seals. This requirement became effective October 15, 2008.

In addition, APL recommends that customers moving high value and/or sensitive cargo adopt an added level of security by using an indicative (non-keyed) theft deterrent and barrier seal.  For more information about these seals please read the following letters to our customers:
