    This document discusses how radiation technology is used in customs screening. It describes two main categories of X-ray scanners: high energy scanners including fixed and movable whole-vehicle scanners, and low energy scanners such as luggage, body, and backscatter scanners. X-ray scanning allows for non-intrusive inspection of cargo and travelers without physical searches, reducing clearance times while enhancing security and trade facilitation. The presentation aims to explore how X-ray scanning aids customs agencies in maintaining border security.

    Radiation technology used in customs 1


    In an increasingly interconnected world, maintaining
    border security has become a crucial challenge for customs
    agencies worldwide. With the rise in international trade, the
    need for effective methods to detect illicit goods and contraband
    has never been greater. Unlike traditional physical inspections, X-
    ray scanning does not require any handling or disassembly of
    cargo, vehicle, bus, bag or traveler thus reducing clearance times.
    Such approach has proven to be instrumental in enhancing
    security and facilitating trade.

    This presentation explores the types of X-ray scanning


    in maintaining border security and highlights how it aids customs
    agencies in their efforts to facilitate trade & security.

    X-Ray Scanners

    Scanning or non-intrusive inspection refers to non-destructive methods of


    inspecting and identifying goods in transportation systems

    There is two main category of X-Ray scanners

    High Energy Scanners Low Energy Scanners

    Fixed Luggage
    Scanner Scanner

    Movable Body
    Scanner Scanner

    Backscatter
    Scanner
    Radiation technology used in customs 3
    High Energy Scanners

    Fixed Scanners

    The inspection process is carried out by entering the truck driver


    through the entrance gate after confirming the dimensions of the
    vehicle and the permit of the device operator for him and stopping
    at the specified area for stopping the truck and then exiting the
    scanner and making sure that the operating area is free of any
    personnel and proceeding to close the doors and start photographic
    process.

    Fixed scanner consist of:
    A: Concrete wall
    B: Scanner movement bars
    C: Examination area
    D:Two gates of protective shields
    E: Radiological scanning device

    There are a number of surveillance cameras distributed within


    the examination area

    High Energy Scanners

    Movable Scanners

    Radiation technology used in customs 6


    The inspection process is carried out by entering the truck
    driver after confirming the dimensions of the car and the
    permission of the device operator for him and stopping at
    the specified area to stop the truck and then exiting the
    driver to the safe waiting area and making sure that the
    operating area is free of any individuals and start pressing the
    start button through the POR wireless remote control.

    Low Energy Scanners

    Luggage Scanners

    Dual‐energy X‐Ray security


    inspection equipment makes use of
    the penetrating power of X‐Ray to
    implement the rapid inspection of
    the packing baggage and goods.

    Low Energy Scanners

    Body Scanners

    Full-body scanners can detect and locate forbidden


    objects concealed under a person’s clothing. In
    contrast to metal detectors used extensively at
    passenger airports, these devices also respond to
    non-metallic objects such as explosives.

    Low Energy Scanners

    Backscatter Scanners

    The patented Z backscatter technology


    integrates 225 keV X-ray tube emitting a
    spectrum of X-rays for identifying a
    range of threat objects. The system uses
    X-rays with lower radiation dose to
    ensure the safety of users, cargo and the
    surroundings.
