Shipping inventory to Amazon FBA isn’t simple—especially when using a freight forwarder. Miss a document, mix up pallets, or miss your appointment, and your shipment may be delayed, rejected, or extra-costly.
A specialized Amazon FBA freight forwarder understands the process end-to-end—from ISF importer security filing at U.S. customs to last-mile delivery tracking to Amazon's dock. This ultimate checklist keeps your shipment smooth, compliant, and damage-free.
Provide a signed POA so your freight forwarder and customs broker can act on your behalf. No POA = delays at customs.
