E-seal containers (export)
India’s Customs mandates electronic sealing (e-seal) for containers by exporters under the self-sealing procedure. An E-seal tag is a radio frequency device that transmits container information when interrogated by a UHF RFID static gateway reader or handheld devices. It combines the mechanical security of standard seals with the electronic security offered by RFID. E-seal has univocal ID code and read/write user memory capabilities & provides automatic identification of trucks, trailers, and containers. Is available in tamper evidence version as per specifications. The status of the seal (TAMPERED / NOT TAMPERED) is immediately detected and read at time passing through the gate or by manual inspection.


As per circular no. 36/2017-Customs, following data needs to be mapped to approved & unique e-seals by exporters:
- IEC (Importer Exporter Code)
- Shipping Bill Number
- Shipping Bill Date
- e-seal number
- Date of sealing
- Time of sealing
- Destination Customs Station for export
- Container Number
- Trailer- Truck Number
