The problem: Authorities use X-ray scanners, customs declarations, and periodic inspections to track shipments, but these methods are reactive and labor-intensive. Smuggling, counterfeiting, and tax evasion remain challenges due to limited visibility into real-time container access. Inefficiencies in verifying cargo integrity and compliance slow down trade, increase administrative costs, and weaken national security measures.
How Boxhound can help: Real-time access monitoring and automated risk assessments enhance customs enforcement, reducing smuggling and ensuring compliance with trade regulations. Improved tracking capabilities streamline inspections, while carbon emissions monitoring supports sustainability goals. Faster, more accurate security assessments also strengthen national security and trade facilitation.
Not sure if it is here we should mention military cargo or we should add this to Shippers & Cargo Owners?
