Appropriate for what?

What's the context?

Appropriate for what?

What's the context?

When we received the shipment, we noticed that they had been opened and resealed. The truck driver is saying that the border customs had opened all the boxes for inspection. We need to notify the clearance broker about this.
Please advise which one should I use? 1 or 2?

I would write "opened-and-sealed state" since it is a compound adjective.
#2 is simpler.

They're both OK.

The customs officer should have put an official sticker on the boxes confirming that this had been done.
