Shipped.com Container CSC Surveys

• A 3rd-party, licensed surveyor schedules an appointment at the depot to inspect the container(s).
• At the depot using a container stacker or intermodal forklift, the container(s) are moved from tall stacks to the inspection/staging area.
• After driving to the depot, the surveyor is shown the container(s) with the correct BIC codes (serial numbers) to be inspected.
• The Surveyor examines each container individually and takes photos at all angles inside and out.
• Working off a checklist, the Surveyor examines: the structural integrity, doors, floor, corner castings & posts, panel tolerances, roof bows, and uses a forklift to check the underside for wear & tear, plus much, much more.
• If anything is found to be out of spec, the Surveyor requires the depot to repair the container(s) to ISO specifications before export is allowed.
• The Surveyor affixes a new ACEP survey approval sticker to the container(s) CSC plate with an integrated serial number for easy online verification by customs officials and shipping lines.
• The container(s) can now be shipped overseas, sent by rail or by truck to any imaginable destination worldwide.
