Amazon FBA Shipping from China: Preparation, FNSKU Labeling, and Packaging
Eva Solutions prepares your goods in China for Amazon FBA — FNSKU labeling, FBA-compliant packaging, and inspection — and delivers them directly to the Amazon FBA warehouse in Germany, without the detour through your own warehouse.
- FNSKU labeling and FBA-compliant packaging in China
- Product inspection before shipment to Amazon
- Carton marking and palletizing to Amazon requirements
- Shipping directly to the Amazon FBA warehouse by sea or air freight
- DDP customs clearance — duty-paid delivery without double handling
What Is Amazon FBA Preparation (FBA Prep)?
Before Amazon accepts your goods, they must meet the FBA requirements: every product with an FNSKU label, correctly packed, cartons under 23 kg, and properly marked. Labeling mistakes, overweight cartons, or missing warnings lead to rejection at the FBA warehouse.
FBA preparation completes these steps before the goods leave China. Eva Solutions handles this in China — you save the detour through your own warehouse and therefore double shipping costs and double handling.
That way the goods go from the factory directly to the Amazon FBA warehouse, ready to sell.
Our Services for Amazon FBA
We handle all steps of FBA preparation at our prep center in China.
-
FNSKU Labeling
We print your FNSKU labels and apply them to every product in an FBA-compliant way — including a check that the barcode scans cleanly and covers no other barcodes.
-
FBA-Compliant Packaging
Polybags with a suffocation warning, protection for fragile goods, sets and bundles as a single unit, sturdy outer packaging, cartons under 23 kg.
-
Carton Marking and Palletizing
We apply the shipping and carton labels from your shipping plan to each carton and palletize the goods where delivery is made as a pallet shipment.
-
Product Inspection Before FBA Shipment
On request, we check the goods before shipment — quantity, workmanship, and specification, documented with photos and video. You flag defects with the manufacturer while the goods are still in China.
-
Shipping and Delivery to the FBA Warehouse
We clear customs DDP and deliver directly to the Amazon FBA warehouse you choose in Germany — you provide no import address of your own and take on no customs handling.
Amazon FBA Packaging Requirements at a Glance
Amazon rejects shipments that do not meet the requirements. We make sure of:
- FNSKU label — on every item, scannable, with no covered third-party barcodes
- Carton weight — a maximum of 23 kg per standard carton, heavier cartons with a heavy-item marking
- Polybags — with a suffocation warning from an opening of 13 cm
- Sets and bundles — packed as one unit and marked “Sold as set”
- Shipping and carton labels — from the shipping plan in Seller Central
- Protective packaging — for fragile and leak-prone items
Shipping from China to Amazon FBA: Sea or Air Freight
The prepared goods go by sea or air freight depending on quantity and deadline.
-
Sea Freight (FCL/LCL)
For larger quantities with lead time, the cheapest option per unit.
-
Air Freight
For urgent resupply, product launches, and lightweight goods.
-
Rail Freight
As a compromise between transit time and cost.
We book the route, clear customs DDP, and align the delivery date with the shipping plan.
Process: How FBA Shipping Works with Eva Solutions
-
Inquiry and Shipping Plan

Pickup and Goods Receipt

On request, we check quantity and quality with a photo and video report before packing.

FBA Prep and FNSKU Labeling

The goods go by sea freight, air freight, rail, or truck to Germany — cleared DDP.
-

Costs: What Does Shipping from China to Amazon FBA Cost?
We calculate every order individually. Blanket statements are not possible.
- Unit Count and Labeling Effort
- FNSKU labeling is charged per unit — a few units differ from several thousand.
- Packaging Effort
- Simple recartoning differs from polybagging, bundling, or protective packaging for fragile goods.
- Transport Mode and Volume
- Sea freight is billed per cubic meter, air freight by weight or volumetric weight. FCL pays off from larger quantities.
- Customs and Import VAT
- With DDP delivery, customs and import VAT apply, depending on the goods value and goods category.
- Inspection
- The optional quality control with a photo and video report is charged by scope.
No flat rates: we disclose all cost items transparently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you ship directly from China to Amazon FBA?
Yes. You create a shipping plan in Seller Central, we prepare the goods FBA-compliant, clear customs DDP, and deliver directly to the Amazon FBA warehouse. The detour through your own warehouse is eliminated.
What is an FNSKU label?
The FNSKU (Fulfillment Network Stock Keeping Unit) is Amazon's internal barcode that assigns each product to a seller account. Every item needs a scannable FNSKU label that covers other barcodes.
Can the supplier apply the FNSKU labels themselves?
Possible, but risky: mistakes in printing or placement lead to rejection. We apply the FNSKU labels FBA-compliant and check scannability before the goods are shipped.
What packaging requirements does Amazon FBA have?
Every product needs an FNSKU label, cartons may weigh no more than 23 kg, polybags need a suffocation warning, and sets are marked as a unit. Violations lead to rejection at the FBA warehouse.
What does DDP shipping to Amazon FBA mean?
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means we deliver duty-paid directly to the FBA warehouse and take on customs and import VAT. You need no import address of your own and no customs handling.
What does shipping from China to Amazon FBA cost?
The cost depends on unit count, labeling and packaging effort, transport mode, volume, and customs and import VAT. We prepare a precise calculation on request.
By sea or air freight to Amazon FBA?
Sea freight suits larger quantities with lead time and is cheapest per unit. Air freight pays off for urgent resupply, product launches, and lightweight goods. Rail freight sits between them in time and cost.
Does Eva Solutions check the goods before FBA shipment?
On request, yes. We check quantity, quality, and packaging with photo and video documentation, so that defects can still be flagged in China.
Can I bundle several suppliers before FBA shipment?
Yes. We consolidate goods from different factories in China, prepare them for FBA together, and ship them bundled — consolidation and FBA prep from one source.
