What is an X-Ray Inspection?
In the context of shipping, an X-ray inspection refers to the process of using X-ray technology to inspect the contents of packages, containers, or cargo. This inspection method is commonly used in the shipping industry to ensure security and safety of shipments.
X-ray inspection systems in shipping are designed to penetrate various materials, including metals and dense substances, allowing inspectors to see the internal contents of packages without physically opening them. This technology is particularly useful for detecting hidden or prohibited items, such as contraband, explosives, or illegal substances, that might be concealed within packages.
By utilizing X-ray inspection, shipping companies and authorities can enhance security measures, streamline the inspection process, and mitigate potential risks associated with the transportation of goods. This method helps in maintaining the integrity of shipments while ensuring compliance with regulations and safety standards.

In the event of a claim, proof of X-ray inspection may be requested if U-PIC is notified that X-ray inspection has taken place. Providing documentation of the inspection process can be crucial in validating the integrity and security of the shipment, which may be necessary for processing claims quickly and effectively. It's important for customers to keep records and be prepared to provide such proof if they have utilized X-ray inspection services for their shipments.
