This service is of benefit if you are concerned about manufacturer’s craftsmanship or want to ensure your product’s overall quality meets the high standards you expect.

All labels should be placed neatly for legibility. Units may display as many labels as necessary. Barcodes must be placed flat to be properly scanned.
With advance notice, we may be able to provide plain individual product packaging. With your custom label template, we may be able to print and apply a logo label to enhance your plain boxes. We also have a local print shop for your printing needs we cannot accommodate. We can construct and place your units into your flat-packed packaging starting at $0.75 per unit.

All products need to disclose a visible “Country of Origin” label to be in compliance of U.S. Customs Requirements. Shipping cartons also need to display a Country of Origin disclosure to be complying of U.S. Customs Requirements. The requirement for Amazon will vary based on your product’s category.
Amazon requires all products to display one barcode.
If your account has enabled Sticker less Commingled Inventory, your products will not require an FNSKU.
If your account has enabled Stickered, Non-Commingled Inventory, your products will require an FNSKU.
Products requiring FNSKU labeling do not need to display a UPC code but must still have a UPC assigned to the listing.
You may find your selection by logging into your Seller Account and browsing to:
SETTINGS > FULFILLMENT BY AMAZON > INVENTORY SETTINGS
Product labels (FNSKU) will be generated through your Seller Central account. Your FNSKU labels need to be provided to us prior to your shipment’s arrival to prevent delays.
To create your FNSKU labels: Once in Seller Central, choose “Manage Inventory” from the top left of your screen. Select the product you want to create labels for by “checking” the box to the left of it, and then move to the right of it and use your drop down “action” menu to choose “print item labels”. From there, it will bring you directly to the FNSKU screen. You’ll see MSKU to the left, and all the way to the right you’ll see an entry field with the number “1“. You will need to manually update that number to the total number of products you need labeled.
Once completed, please keep the default setting of “30 Up Standard US Letter” format, and then click “print item labels “. Rather than printing, when your print screen appears, you will opt to “save as PDF file “. Save them as a PDF file in a conspicuous place, perhaps on your desktop, and then attach them into an email for us. We will do the rest!
Please postpone the creation of your outbound shipping labels until the conclusion of our services. We will provide you with all of the most current and accurate information to generate your labels to eliminate the risk of duplicate shipping fees. You may create your shipping plan in advance to gain access to your packing lists, but please do not “approve charges” until we have confirmed with you as a refund for inaccurate labels is only granted within 24 hours of creation.
Your Amazon bound shipping labels will be generated and paid for in your Seller Central account. You will be eligible for significantly discounted shipping rates when selecting Amazon’s Partnered Carrier, UPS. You can expect between $0.30 and $0.50 per pound for a small parcel shipment. We can also provide shipping rates via UPS, FedEx and LTL.
Air Express shipments valued below $2500 will generally be “batch cleared” by your Express carrier, and therefore be granted “informal entry”, by passing a customs broker. Cargo exceeding $2500 in commercial value will require the services of a customs broker. Please contact us for Customs Brokerage Services.

An FCC request will need to be filed with Amazon, as batteries are considered hazardous material due to the possibility of leakage. This process can take up to a week or longer. We recommend that you send the batteries in small packages outside of your battery-operated device or have them shrink wrapped together and placed separately in your incoming cartons with your product for the easiest import transaction and handling purposes.
We accept Amazon Returns & Removal Orders for $0.65 per incoming unit in addition to selected service fees. All standard processing fees apply as well as our $50.00 Minimum Purchase Price.
