At the terminals, including border crossings, there are security officers and systems on-site to ensure the safe transit of the cargo. Also, each container is sealed for the duration of its journey. In case of a customs inspection, (they may check the goods to see if they match the manifest) the containers are resealed and a new seal number is mentioned in the SMGS Railway bill. If you need or desire a GPS tracking device for your cargo, you may supply one for yourself and make the necessary arrangements during the booking process.
