Amazon recently released the revised version of FBA inbound receiving specifications, tightening requirements on product label sticking, transparent polybag sealing, warning label attachment, and pallet stacking height and weight limits.
Non-compliant shipments will be rejected at Amazon’s receiving warehouse, resulting in additional return freight costs and sales suspension risks for merchants. Many cross-border sellers rely on U.S. local overseas warehouses to complete standardized pre-processing work before sending goods to Amazon fulfillment centers.
Professional prep operations including barcode labeling, individual product bagging, bundle fixing and pallet building effectively lower the rejection rate of inbound inventory. This adjustment further raises the entry barrier for simple warehousing service providers and highlights the value of compliant, detail-oriented overseas warehouse operators.
