The idea of markings that indicate where the goods came from could make it easier to track what happened, and even make room for a bit of a cargo laundering industry.
Raiders literally attack and loot anyone they see. It doesn't matter at all what boat you're in. Dugout, rowboat, snekkja. KoS everything not in a friendly realm zone.
This will have zero impact on raiding. Your clothes and tears are probably worth more to them anyway.
