Carton count vs shipment plan
We reconcile carton labels, FNSKU mapping, and the shipment ID before the cargo leaves the prep floor.

Where FBA shipments fail
Surface the receiving risk before the container sails.
EU EORI or ATLAS gaps
We confirm the EU EORI and ATLAS position early so the German entry does not pause while the vessel is in transit.
Final-mile dock timing
We price the receiving appointment and delivery window into the plan instead of treating it as an afterthought.
FBA intake checklist
Send the inputs that make the first quote accurate.
A clear shipment plan reduces relabelling, surprise storage, and receiving delays.
| 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, and pallet build | Needed |
| Commercial invoice | EU entry and TARIC classification | Needed |
| EU EORI number | EU customs entry via ATLAS | Critical |
| Target fulfilment centre | Final-mile appointment and delivery cost | Critical |
FBA workflow
The shipment is only finished when Amazon receives it.
Each stage has a named owner and a check before the next handoff. That keeps labels, cartons, customs, and appointments from becoming separate conversations.
01 — Source
Collect from suppliers
Combine multiple supplier orders at the Shenzhen warehouse and reconcile carton counts against the shipment plan.
02 — Prep
Label & palletize
Apply FNSKU labels, build compliant cartons, photograph the load, and confirm pallet dimensions.
03 — Clear
Import into the EU
Choose DDP or DAP, submit the EU EORI and ATLAS document set, and keep EU duty and 19% import VAT status visible.
04 — Receive
Deliver by appointment
Coordinate drayage, final-mile delivery, and the FBA appointment at the German or pan-EU fulfilment centre.
FAQ
Amazon FBA Germany FAQ
EU EORI, ATLAS, DDP, SEND, and pan-EU delivery — answered before you book.
Can you deliver directly to German Amazon fulfilment centres?
Yes. We apply FNSKU labels, build Amazon-compliant cartons and pallets, and deliver direct to Amazon.de or pan-EU fulfilment centres against the appointment on your shipment plan. The delivery plan is priced into the quote rather than left as a port drop-off.
Do I need a German EORI number, or will any EU EORI work?
An EU EORI issued by any member state is valid across the union, so it does not have to be German. What matters is that the importer of record holds one before the ATLAS declaration is filed. We confirm the EU EORI is in place before booking.
Do you offer DDP to Amazon FBA Germany?
Yes, where the product, importer, and destination qualify. We itemise EU common tariff duty, 19% import VAT (Einfuhrumsatzsteuer), brokerage, and delivery so DDP is a priced operating choice. Once goods clear into free circulation in Germany they move within the EU without further customs formality.
How does a freight forwarder compare to Amazon SEND?
Amazon SEND is Amazon's partnered-carrier program for shipping FBA inventory from China to Amazon fulfilment centres. It is simple for a single-supplier shipment with a straightforward booking. A freight forwarder wins when you need multi-supplier consolidation in Shenzhen, DDP with EU duty and VAT settled, FNSKU prep and carton compliance, customs brokerage, or a choice of mode — air, sea, or rail into Duisburg. For one supplier and a simple booking SEND is reasonable; for anything more complex, a forwarder owns the whole workflow.
Can you combine several suppliers into one FBA shipment?
Yes. The Shenzhen warehouse receives cartons from multiple suppliers, checks counts against your purchase orders, applies labels, and consolidates against the final Amazon shipment plan.
