Definition

A container seal number is a unique identification number or code that is affixed to a shipping container's locking mechanism to ensure the security and integrity of the cargo during transportation. The seal number serves as a tamper-evident device, providing evidence of any unauthorized access or tampering. It is recorded on shipping documents and used for verification and tracking purposes.
