Throughput
Focus detailed inspection on items that merit attention. Rapid first-line checks keep routine flows moving and reduce unnecessary opening or unloading.
Border inspection
Customs
Resolve suspicious cargo, baggage and parcels faster with layered trace screening and non-destructive identification. Focus detailed inspection where it adds value while keeping legitimate trade and passenger movement flowing.
Mission focus
Intervene precisely without slowing every shipment.
Customs inspection already uses documentation, visual examination and X-ray imaging, but suspicious materials, trace explosives and radioactive sources require additional methods. VS220 combines vehicle X-ray inspection with nuclear detection; EF1000 screens surfaces for trace explosives; CR1600 identifies compatible chemicals, narcotics and explosives through suitable packaging; and RG800 supports radiation and contamination checks.
Each result answers a defined question in primary or secondary inspection. Combining them helps officers distinguish an image anomaly from a chemical identity, a trace indication or a radiation condition before applying local release, detention or specialist-referral procedures.
Non-destructive ID
Assess substances through suitable packaging where possible. Preserving the item reduces handling risk and supports a controlled follow-up examination.
Trace screening
Reveal residues associated with concealed threats. A trace indication provides another line of evidence when visual inspection and documentation are inconclusive.
Operational sequence
Field workflow
A clear sequence connects early indication, field confirmation and a defensible decision - giving every team a shared understanding of what happens next.
Indicate
Rapid screening identifies unusual items or traces. The first result determines whether routine processing continues or a controlled inspection begins.
Inspect
Focused identification resolves the material in question. The method is selected around the package, sample and suspected threat rather than applied indiscriminately.
Decide
Results support release, detention or specialist referral. A clear record allows the next team to understand both the finding and how it was reached.
Selected solutions
The right tools for the task.
01
CR1600
02CR1600 is a handheld Raman identification device supplied in mission-specific versions for police and security, emergency response and hazmat, and borders and customs. Each version carries a database configured for that role, and identifies explosives, narcotics and hazardous chemicals in the field without sampling.
EF1000
03EF1000 is a handheld trace explosives detector built on HT-Nova's proprietary fluorescent small-molecule technology, which identifies explosive molecules by the change they produce in a fluorescent material. It detects around forty kinds of explosives, contains no radioactive sources, and returns a result in under ten seconds.
VS220
04VS220 is a vehicle CBRNE and X-ray inspection system for rapidly checking passenger vehicles for concealed prohibited items. It combines a low-energy X-ray machine, high-speed high-resolution detector units and a nuclear detection module to screen vehicles as they pass.
RG800
RG800 is a multi-functional nuclear and radiation detector covering both radiation dose rate and surface contamination. It measures alpha and beta surface contamination alongside X-ray and gamma dose rates and accumulated dose, alerting personnel through configurable audible, visual and vibration alarms.
Key information
Reference Application Scenarios
Ensuring border security
Cargo Screening: Customs authorities use our equipment to screen imported goods for potential threats such as chemical, biological, radiological, and explosive materials. These sensors enhance security measures at ports and border crossing points, ensuring the safe and legal transport of goods while preventing the entry of dangerous or prohibited items
Contraband Detection: Customs and border protection agencies utilize CBRNE sensors to detect illegal substances in cargo, luggage, and mail, including drugs, explosives, and chemical weapon precursors. These sensors play a crucial role in intercepting contraband and preventing its entry into the country
Border Surveillance: Monitoring potential security threats, including the smuggling of drugs, explosives, or chemical weapon precursors. Integrated with border security systems, these sensors enhance surveillance capabilities, supporting the detection and suppression of illegal activities
Enhancing trade compliance monitoring and port security
Trade Compliance Monitoring: Customs can utilize our equipment to prevent contraband and smuggling activities. Our devices are capable of detecting illegal substances such as drugs, explosives, and chemical weapon precursors and can be deployed for monitoring at international borders. Through real-time monitoring and data recording, customs can promptly detect and intercept illegal substances, safeguard public safety, and enforce trade laws
Port Security Enhancement: Used for seaports and maritime terminals, enhancing security measures to prevent the entry of hazardous or prohibited materials (including chemical, biological, radiological, and explosive substances). These sensors help protect critical infrastructure and promote secure and reliable international trade
