Customs cord

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A customs cord is part of a variant of identity protection , such as is used, for example, in trucks and freight containers .

It is therefore mainly used in the transport industry and plays an important role in customs clearance . It is used to attach the customs seal , which is attached to the locking mechanism of the transport container with the customs cord in such a way that it is sealed by customs. Unauthorized removal as a breach of the seal constitutes an administrative offense; In addition, the import tax liability arises immediately (i.e. the customs , import sales tax and excise tax liability ), which can be extremely uncomfortable and expensive for the sender of the goods if the transported goods were only in transit through the customs area.

Appearance

The customs cord usually consists of a wire core covered with colored cord . The Tydenseal is an important standard seal .
