Had some traction work out of Sainsburys in Basingstoke . They want you to check the load before you hook up, then it’s sealed by security when you leave.

This is a regular problem on containers, you collect a laden import but you cannot break the seal to see how it’s loadedyou can ask customs to do it they will reseal and mark your paperwork as such. had one that every time I stopped and pulled away there was a banging, saw someone about it and there was paper rolls on pallets but one had broken away from its strapping making other strapping break the whole lot was moving around…they stripped out and re packed. so anyone that says you cant YOU CAN but need good reason to do so.
Customs have no jurisdiction over an RDC trailer and wouldn’t be interested anyway, the plastic or lead seal is only ever going to cover the arse of one person. If a company is worried about pilferage they must seal the cages or wrap the pallets so they are tamperproof.
If I picked a trailer load of tyres up from the ferry and it was sealed, then that seal stayed on as the tyre tread could be seen in the stretched curtain. If it was a full shoot of Evian water I would generally break the seal and see how the last driver had loaded it.
To be honest I think the amount of bonded loads is so negligible coming into Immingham, Grimsby or Hull I wouldn’t worry
Did I mention anywhere about an RDC trailer
Caught my eye this one
My Brother in Law had a bonded load of Alcohol (Artic) and it turned over due to the insecure load shifting at slow speed as witnessed by a Doctor who saved his life as he had a stroke as a result of his world world turning upside down
Upshot is several years later with no job and the use of only one arm and leg he get’s to spend a few tens of thousands on a mobility scooter and other aids etc
So I would check it or not move it
