Should I use tamper seals on my shipments?

Tamper Seals

If you routinely ship sensitive information or materials, it's a very good idea to add a tamper seal around the edges of all mailing containers. This makes tampering much more difficult. Government inspectors in airports and mail facilities will include a notification of inspection if they are required to open your mailing. Your tamper seals will be broken in this case, but if your recipient sees no official notice inside the package, it's safe to assume the box has been compromised. Tamper seals are very effective; being one of the methods U.S. Customs uses to prevent theft in overseas moves for government employees and military members.
