Referring to your observation on damaged of box having ACTL tape pls note its not towards covering any damage exposure while stuffing operation at loading terminal and rather specifically used whenever terminal customs insist for physical check of any cargo. In such conditions any one carton, chosen by customs official, is torn from one corner, in their very presence, for physical observation. Customs official - in case of any suspicion may ask for complete opening of pallet, however upon been satisfied allows covering of that area with specific tape duly printed with "ACTL CUSTOMS EXAMINED". in given case customs official asked for examination and followed the same procedure. This objective specific tape was put to cover the slit made in carton for customs observation only.
Pls feel free to enlarge the pictures to clearly read this expression (ACTL CUSTOMS EXAMINED) printed therein on tape.
Damages/deformation to parts just cannot be attributed to this statutory customs observation. It was merely a corner slit which was made for their observation and immediately covered with this tape.
