Definition
A customs X-ray scanner is advanced radiographic equipment used by customs services for non-intrusive inspection of cargo. Scanners enable screening of containers, trailers, passenger vehicles and postal parcels without physically opening them, making inspections faster and less burdensome for traders.
Types include stationary scanners (permanently installed at ports and border crossings), mobile scanners (mounted on trucks), and scanners for courier and postal shipments. Modern scanners use dual-energy technology to distinguish organic and inorganic materials, which is critical for detecting drugs, weapons and contraband.
