Direct answer
Freight decisions tied to usable inventory.
Amazon FBA freight planning must connect the seller's shipment plan with the commercial import file. Carton data, labels, importer readiness, customs release and the delivery appointment all need owners before cargo leaves China.

Solution questions
Common Amazon FBA freight planning questions.
Can Amazon act as the importer of record?+
No. The seller must establish an appropriate importer and customs structure for the destination market.
Should FBA labels be applied in China?+
They can be, when the seller has finalized the shipment plan and provides current files. Finished cartons should be checked before departure.
Can urgent and regular FBA stock use different modes?+
Yes. A controlled split can send a launch quantity by air while the balance moves by sea or rail, provided both shipment files remain accurate.
