Xxxxxxxx Seal Policy and Security Requirements. At origin, all loaded transport equipment must have numbered security seals on all doors, hatches and openings. Seal numbers must be recorded on the Bill of Lading and match the seals on the transport equipment. Shipments received with broken, missing, unreadable, or non-matching seal numbers (e.g., when compared to those recorded on the shipment’s Bill of Lading) may be rejected and in such event Broker shall be liable to Shipper as if there had been a total loss of shipment. At destination, drivers must “check-in” upon arrival at Shipper’s or consignee’s designated facility.

Upon the breaking of the seal by any regulatory personnel, the driver must request that the regulatory person return the broken seal and such seal must be retained and provided to Shipper or Xxxxxxx’s designated facility’s receiving personnel to compare against the Bill of Lading’s recorded information. If, however, the regulatory person refuses to return the broken seal to the driver, then the driver shall note all relevant facts on the shipment's documentation (e.g., time, location, identification of regulatory person, etc.) and make reasonable efforts to have the regulatory person initial, stamp or provide some other form of written acknowledgement of such notations.
