Amazon FBA guidelines

Prepare the inbound before cargo moves.

Align carton data, labels, shipment details, and delivery timing before factory pickup.

Inbound preflight

Four checks that protect the delivery plan.

Finalize carton data

Confirm carton count, finished dimensions, gross weight, unit quantity, and product mix before booking.

Verify labels

Check that every supplied carton and shipment label is readable, flat, correctly placed, and matched to the carton data.

Confirm the destination

Use the assigned destination and delivery window for the current shipment plan. Do not rely on a previous inbound pattern.

Match mode to stock cover

Select ocean, air, trucking, or commercial express based on inventory availability, volume, and the required delivery date.

FBA transport planning

Let inventory pressure choose the mode.

Use ocean for planned volume and air or commercial express for time-sensitive replenishment.

Trucking connects arrival points, staging locations, and assigned delivery destinations. A split plan can protect near-term stock while keeping the main shipment cost controlled.
