Accurate Quantity Confirmation for Containerized Cargo
Discrepancies between the packing list and the actual goods in a container can lead to commercial disputes, customs problems, and financial loss. A professional container cargo tally is the most effective way to ensure the number of units loaded or discharged matches the shipping documents.
Our surveyors act as your trusted, impartial representatives on the ground. We supervise the container stuffing or de-stuffing process, conducting a piece-by-piece count and meticulously recording the quantities. This provides a definitive, independent record to protect your interests.
Our Container Tally Service Includes:
- Piece-by-Piece Count: A physical count of every carton, bag, pallet, or unit as it is loaded into (stuffing) or discharged from (de-stuffing) the container.
- Packing List Verification: Verifying that the tallied quantity matches the numbers stated on the commercial invoice and packing list.
- Condition Check During Tally: Noting and photographing any cartons or units that appear damaged, wet, or tampered with during the counting process.
- Seal Integrity Check: Recording and verifying container seal numbers before and after the operation to ensure security.
- Final Tally Report: Issuing a formal report detailing the final verified count, container/seal numbers, and any observations, complete with photographic evidence.
