FBA intake checklist
Send the inputs that make the first quote accurate.
A clear shipment plan reduces relabelling and receiving delays. Australian FBA also needs biosecurity screening (ISPM 15 for timber packaging).
| Input | Used for | State |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon shipment ID | Receiving appointment and carton map | Needed |
| SKU / FNSKU list | Label generation and carton audit | Needed |
| Carton dimensions + weight | Mode, chargeable weight, pallet build | Needed |
| Commercial invoice | Australian entry and classification | Needed |
| Packing type | Biosecurity — ISPM 15 timber check | Critical |
| Target fulfilment centre | Final-mile appointment | Critical |

FAQ
Amazon FBA Australia FAQ
Amazon.com.au delivery, biosecurity, DDP, SEND, and consolidation.
Can you deliver directly to Australian Amazon fulfilment centres?
Yes. We deliver direct to Amazon.com.au centres against the appointment on your shipment plan.
Does Australian FBA need biosecurity screening?
Yes. DAFF inspects timber packaging, container cleanliness, and seasonal pest risk. Untreated timber is a common cause of held FBA cargo. We screen at origin and verify ISPM 15 compliance.
Do you offer DDP to Amazon FBA Australia?
Yes, where the product and importer qualify. We itemise duty, 10% GST, biosecurity screening, brokerage, and delivery.
How does a freight forwarder compare to Amazon SEND?
Amazon SEND is Amazon's partnered-carrier program for FBA inventory from China. It is simple for a single-supplier shipment. A forwarder wins for multi-supplier consolidation, DDP, FNSKU prep, biosecurity screening, customs brokerage, or mode choice. For one supplier and a simple booking SEND is reasonable; for complex shipments, a forwarder owns the workflow.
Can you combine several suppliers into one FBA shipment?
Yes. The Shenzhen warehouse receives multi-supplier cartons, checks counts, labels, and consolidates against the shipment plan.
