MSC-FAL.1/Circ.1 provides information on the WCO's "SAFE Framework of Standards", which in its "Customs to Customs" pillar encourages the usage by Customs Authorities of advance electronic information as part of a risk-based cargo security strategy. Requirements on the use of high security mechanical seals, as part of a seal integrity programme for containers, form an important element of this pillar. One of these requirements is that if public or private officials remove a seal to inspect the container, they will install an acceptable replacement seal and note the particulars of the action, including the new seal number, in the cargo documentation.
