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.
Duty and HS code gaps
We flag missing product details early so the US entry does not pause while the vessel is already 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 relabeling, 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 | US entry and duty classification | Needed |
| Target fulfilment centre | Final-mile appointment and delivery cost | Critical |
| Prep requirements | Polybag, bubble wrap, bundles, or oversize rules | Review |
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 plan.
02 — Prep
Label & palletize
Apply FNSKU labels, build compliant cartons, photograph the load, and confirm pallet dimensions.
03 — Clear
Import into the US
Choose DDP or DAP, submit the document set, and keep duty and broker status visible.
04 — Receive
Deliver by appointment
Coordinate drayage, final-mile delivery, and the FBA appointment instead of dropping at the port.
FAQ
Amazon FBA FAQ
Answers for the shipment behind the seller central screen.
Can you ship to any US fulfilment centre?
We quote delivery to the fulfilment centre shown on your shipment plan, including the required final-mile handoff. If Amazon later changes the destination, send the new ID before dispatch so the delivery plan can be repriced.
Do you offer DDP to Amazon FBA?
Yes, where the product, importer, and destination qualify. We spell out the duty, tax, brokerage, and delivery responsibilities so DDP is an operating choice rather than a vague promise.
Can you combine several suppliers into one FBA shipment?
Yes. The Shenzhen warehouse can receive multiple supplier cartons, check counts, apply labels, and consolidate against the final Amazon shipment plan.
What if Amazon rejects a carton?
We keep the prep photos and carton map as part of the shipment record, then coordinate the carrier and receiving response. The earlier the issue is identified, the more options remain.
