In 43 countries that we do business this is the procedure. We have federal inspectors in the 43 countries. They must have a manifest in hand 24 hrs. before a container loaded. The inspectors check and observes the loading. They then close the container and put a seal on it. The container is then put on a ship headed for the US. Thirty hrs out from the US port federal security starts tracking the ship. The coast guard checks the ship 9 miles out. If a seal is broken the container must be throughly checked. The coast guard also scans the containers with a hand held radiation detector and can X-ray the container. Once the ship is in terminal it is unloaded by union longshoremen (all have security checks) and taken through customs where on the the truck it receives both a X-ray and rolls through a radiation detector.
If a seal is broke or they see any problem that container is sent to a port facility to be physically unloaded and checked (three to four days). The randomly pull about 5% of containers to be physically inspected. They charge the receiver $750 to physically inspect the the container and if they can't get it back in the container you have to rent another container and a second truck to get it to its destination. Its not when it Physically Opened that its first checked, Its physically Closed and sealed after the check!!! When a politician or MSM tells you that only 5% are physically opened they forgot to tell you that 100% are checked before closing. Its a deliberate deception for agenda and a lie. My business was a import business and I know the procedure. I hated the $750 charge because I shipped some marble. Marble is slightly radioactive so those containers are pulled. Make sure you have the marble on the back of the container so it can be checked quickly and they can check it again for radiation and you don't have to unload the whole container. Don't take my word for it nor your own opinion. Call the port authority and tell them you want to ship containers, they will give you the procedure. The whole uproar is a hoax!!!!!!
