Amazon FBA Prep · Post-2026 Compliance · Shenzhen

Amazon stopped prepping your inventory.
We do it in China before it ships.

Since January 1, 2026, every FBA shipment must arrive at Amazon already labelled, bagged, wrapped, and compliant. Send it unprepared and Amazon rejects it. Lose it in transit and Amazon won't reimburse you. The prep burden is yours now. We handle it in Shenzhen, at the source, before your goods leave China.

FNSKU labelling, poly bagging, bubble wrap, bundling, kitting, carton labels, pallet building. $0.99 per carton. Every shipment arrives at Amazon ready to receive.

Amazon FBA prep in Shenzhen — worker applying FNSKU barcode labels to product packaging at inspection station, poly bags and bubble wrap on workbench
What Changed on January 1, 2026

Amazon permanently shut down every FBA prep and labelling service in the US

This wasn't a gradual rollback. Amazon switched off poly bagging, bubble wrapping, FNSKU labelling, bundling, kitting, and all other product preparation for FBA shipments in one day. If your inventory arrives at an Amazon fulfillment centre without proper prep, it gets rejected. If it gets lost or damaged in transit without prep, Amazon will not reimburse you.

What Amazon no longer does for you (as of Jan 1, 2026)

  • FNSKU barcode application
  • Poly bagging with suffocation warnings
  • Bubble wrapping fragile items
  • Bundling multiple units into sellable sets
  • Kitting products into multi-item packages
  • Boxing and carton-level labelling
  • Any other product conditioning or preparation

Every one of these tasks is now your responsibility. We handle all of them in our Shenzhen warehouse at $0.99 per carton.

Why Do FBA Prep in China

Your products are manufactured in China. Prepping them in China before they ship is the obvious move.

Most sellers will find a US prep centre and add another step to their supply chain. The smarter approach: prep at the source, ship direct to Amazon, and eliminate the middleman entirely.

Frequently Asked

Questions Amazon sellers ask about FBA prep from China in 2026

What FBA prep services did Amazon discontinue in 2026?
On January 1, 2026, Amazon permanently shut down all in-house FBA prep and labelling services for US inbound shipments. That includes FNSKU barcode application, poly bagging, bubble wrapping, bundling, kitting, and all other product preparation. Every FBA shipment must now arrive at Amazon fully prepped and labelled. Non-compliant shipments get rejected, and Amazon will not reimburse for items lost or damaged in transit if they weren't properly prepped.
How much does FBA prep in China cost?
Pick and pack is $0.99 per carton. FNSKU labelling starts at $0.15 per unit. Poly bagging from $0.30 per unit. Bundling and kitting from $0.50 per unit. Standard visual inspection is free. Storage is $0.49 per CBM per day with the first 30 days free. Zero receiving fees. No minimum volume requirements.
Why do FBA prep in China instead of the US?
Your products are manufactured in China. Doing FBA prep at the source means your goods arrive at Amazon already compliant. No container ship to a US prep centre first. No US receiving fees. No domestic freight bill. No 6-8 week delay between factory and Amazon. The prep happens while your inventory is still in China, and it ships direct to Amazon fully ready to receive.
What happens if Amazon rejects my shipment?
Since January 2026, Amazon does not reimburse for lost or damaged inventory that arrives without proper prep. We guarantee full FBA compliance on every shipment we prepare. If Amazon rejects a shipment due to a prep error on our side, we cover the rejection fees and rework the shipment at no additional cost to you.
How quickly can you process my FBA prep?
Standard processing is 24-48 hours after your inventory arrives at our Shenzhen warehouse. Same-day rush processing is available for urgent shipments. Most sellers with under 5,000 units complete their entire prep and ship cycle within one week of factory delivery.
Do you ship to all Amazon FBA marketplaces?
Yes. We ship prepped inventory to every Amazon marketplace worldwide: US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia, and the UAE. Air freight to the US typically takes 5-8 days. Sea freight takes 25-35 days. Express options are available for 3-5 day delivery.
Can my supplier ship directly to your warehouse?
Yes. Your manufacturer can be anywhere in China. Domestic freight to our Shenzhen warehouse typically takes 2-3 days and is cheap. Many suppliers find it cheaper to deliver to us than to arrange FOB port delivery. We charge zero receiving fees regardless of how many suppliers deliver to us or how often.
Does FBA prep in China work with Amazon's March 2026 commingling changes?
Yes. Amazon's March 31, 2026 commingling update means manufacturer barcodes now provide virtual tracking, which reduces the need for FNSKU labels in some cases. We stay current with every Amazon policy update and adjust your prep spec accordingly. Whether you need FNSKU labels, manufacturer barcodes, or both, we apply the correct configuration for your seller account settings.
