On another small point your barcode/seal is over your health warning sticker and since there is such a fake problem in canada I would really be more worried about the authenticity than beetles.
Seems someone put a nail in it thinking it was a dress box, but on the wrong side of the box as that is the hinge side, then realized which side to put it on, then realized it is not a dress box.
Hard to make out from close up but also appears that the warranty label is not placed properly, as appears on angle and not folding over on the shield as should. A better photo would help.
