Getting your box weights and dimensions correct is important for successful FBA shipments. Here's everything you need to know about Amazon's requirements for shipping boxes to our fulfilment centres.

Standard-Size Items

For boxes containing standard-size items, follow these specifications:

• Minimum box size: 15.2 cm x 10.0 cm x 2.5 cm.

• Maximum box size: 63.5 cm on any side.

• Weight range: 0.15 kg to 23 kg.

Oversized Items

When shipping a single oversized item:

• Box length can extend up to 73.7 cm.

• Weight can increase up to 30 kg.

• Boxes must not be unnecessarily large relative to the item.

Heavy and Bulky Items

For items exceeding 30 kg:

• Must enrol in the FBA Heavy and Bulky programme.

• Maximum box length: 150 cm.

• Maximum girth: 3 metres [girth = (2 x width) + (2 x height) + length].

Safety Labelling Requirements

• All boxes weighing 15 kg or more require "Team Lift"/"Heavy Package" labels.

• Labels must be visible on all sides and top (5 labels total).

• Labels should be in the local language of the destination country.

Note: Sellers must create their own labels as Amazon does not provide them.

Important Compliance Notes:

• These requirements apply to all shipments, regardless of whether you provide box content information in Seller Central.

• Weight and dimension policies are strictly enforced.

• Incorrect measurements or overweight boxes may result in:

1. Rejected shipments.
2. Additional fees.
3. Restricted shipping privileges.
4. Blocked future shipments.

Remember: Always provide accurate measurements and weights for all boxes and pallets, especially when using Amazon-partnered carriers. This ensures smooth processing at fulfillment centers and helps avoid any potential issues with your shipments.
