What we catch before FBA inbound

FNSKU and barcode risk

Scanability, placement, SKU mix-ups, carton labels, FBA barcode verification, and prep-center instructions.

Packaging and transit damage

Crush points, weak seals, polybag suffocation warnings, bundle integrity, carton condition, and Amazon FBA packaging compliance.

Bad-batch defects

Workmanship, function, missing parts, sizing, color, quantity, and AQL defect limits. Catch issues before Amazon returns and negative reviews.

Amazon FBA pre-shipment inspection checklist

  • FNSKU inspection: Scan each FNSKU barcode for readability, correct format, and proper placement per Amazon specifications.
  • Carton label verification: Check box ID labels, FBA carton labels, and shipping labels for accuracy and scannability.
  • Poly bag suffocation warning: Verify poly bags meet Amazon thickness requirements and have suffocation warning labels.
  • Packaging condition: Inspect retail packaging for crush damage, seal integrity, and bundle quality.
  • Amazon inbound compliance: Confirm FBA preparation requirements per ASIN — including bubble wrap, overboxing, sets, and expiry dating.
  • Quantity and SKU mix-up: Count units per package and verify no incorrect SKUs are mixed into the shipment.
  • AQL sampling: Random sample inspection for workmanship defects, function, dimensions, and color matching.

FBA label inspection — what we scan

Amazon FBA shipments are rejected at inbound for barcode issues more often than for product defects. Our FBA label inspection covers:

  • FNSKU barcode scan: Verify the 26-character scannable barcode matches the ASIN listing
  • Carton label check: Confirm box ID labels have the correct FBA shipment ID and scannable barcode
  • Country of origin label: Check "Made in China" labels are present on every unit per Amazon policy
  • Poly bag warning label: Ensure suffocation warning is printed on poly bags with correct font size
  • Set/bundle labeling: Verify bundle items have "Sold as set" stickers per Amazon FBA bundle requirements
