    Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to verifying a state of an item during transit. In some embodiments, shipment data including sensor data and/or user input may be obtained by one or more sensor(s) and/or input device(s) of a shipping container (e.g., box, conveyance, custom container, receptacle, smart container, tote) that houses the item during transit. Shipment data may be transmitted to a data store (e.g., blockchain, immutable ledger, distributed ledger technology). At suitable time(s), the location of the shipping container may be estimated and/or identified from the shipment data obtained from the data store. A state of the item may be verified at least in part by analyzing the sensor data and/or user input obtained from the data store. Utilizing the techniques herein, a determination may be made as to whether the item was mishandled and a likelihood that the item was affected (e.g., damaged, spoiled, etc.) during transit.
