What a container loading check should record
Practical buyer guide.
A loading check is strongest when it creates a clear chain of factual evidence from the empty container to the sealed dispatch.
Before loading
Record container identity and visible condition, including issues that could affect cargo protection.
During loading
Verify product identity, loading tally, package condition and significant handling observations.
At closure
Record final loading condition, container number, seal number and departure evidence. The report should distinguish observed facts from assumptions about later transit events.
