My box has 2 bits of sticky tape on the top so if that means "double taped" and it was indeed opened for checking and approval well then thanks again guys, doing a stellar job over there :/
It's literal. If you can see that the original tape has another tape on top then it has been opened and then resealed. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to whether yours will be double taped and it has annoyed me in the past being mainly a MISB collector. Masterpiece Clampdown from PC was double taped but all my MP's direct from NY in Japan have been single taped. But then my 2 copies each of Unite Warriors Superion and Menasor were both double taped direct from NY while Defensor from RK was single taped. I now specify when I order that I would like a single taped box but it doesn't guarantee anything.

The upside for non MISB collectors is you will get a good quality figure.
