Security checks are carried out at key points in the transport chain—goods receipt, warehousing, transshipment, and border crossing—whenever triggered by suspicion, random selection, or a regulatory obligation. They cover verification of persons (access rights, identity), documents (authenticity, consistency with the cargo manifest), containers or packaging (seal integrity, signs of tampering or damage), and shipment traceability. The aim is to detect prohibited or undeclared contents, interference with cargo, and unintended commingling. Checks are conducted by customs authorities, airport and port security, freight forwarders acting under AEO or known-consignor obligations, and specialist inspection companies. Air cargo is subject to particularly stringent requirements under national aviation authority security programmes.
