FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) inspection is a crucial step for sellers to send goods to Amazon warehouses, and its necessity is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Avoid rejection of incoming goods and reduce additional costs
Amazon has strict standards for incoming goods, such as packaging, labeling, and product status. Failure to meet these requirements may result in:
-Warehouse rejection: Goods are returned or discarded, resulting in high logistics and storage costs.
-Re labeling/repackaging: Amazon may charge a labeling or repackaging fee of $0.55/piece.
-Long term storage fees: If the warehouse is delayed due to issues, additional fees may be incurred.
2. Reduce customer negative reviews and return rates
Amazon buyers have high requirements for product quality. If problems arise due to inspection omissions:
-Negative review/return: If the product is damaged, malfunctioning, or does not match the description, it directly affects the store’s ODR rating.
-Account risk: High return rates may trigger Amazon review and even suspend sales privileges.
3. Prevent supply chain issues from affecting sales
-Factory defective products: There may be defects (such as color difference, missing accessories) during the production process, and inspection can be intercepted in advance.
-Logistics damage: Issues such as packaging compression and label detachment during transportation need to be confirmed before shipment.
4. Meet Amazon compliance requirements
Some categories (such as toys, food, and electrified products) require mandatory certification documents (such as CPC, FDA), and inspection can ensure:
-The certification mark is complete (such as CE, FCC).
-Valid for compliance (such as food and cosmetics requiring at least 18 months remaining).
-Meet safety standards (such as no risk of choking on small parts in children’s products).
Consequences of violation: removal of goods, destruction of inventory, and even legal risks.
5. Optimize inventory management and operational efficiency
-SKU accuracy: To avoid inventory confusion caused by wrong shipments (such as sending model A to model B).
-Quick shelving: Products that meet the standards can pass Amazon’s inventory review faster, shortening the sales cycle.
Summary
FBA inspection is the core guarantee for cost control, account security, and customer experience. Suggestion for seller:
1. Develop standardized inspection procedures (such as AQL sampling standards).
2. Conduct full inspection or entrust third-party inspection companies (such as Eagle Eyes Inspection Company) for high-risk categories.
3. Regularly review common issues and optimize the supply chain.
