FBA SHIPPING
FBA Shipping from China
The Go-To Cross-Border Logistics Solution for Amazon Sellers
FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) shipping refers to sending products directly to Amazon Fulfillment Centers, where Amazon takes care of storage, order processing, delivery, and after-sales.
For cross-border e-commerce sellers, choosing the right FBA logistics solution is critical—it directly affects cost, efficiency, and compliance.
Common FBA Shipping Methods
1. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) – All Duties & Taxes Included
2. DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) – Duties Paid by Buyer/Seller
Freight forwarder transports the goods to the destination country.
Buyer (seller) pays the duties and taxes directly.
Suitable for companies with import qualifications who can manage taxes.
3. Direct Express or Dedicated Freight Forwarder Services
Using courier services or dedicated Amazon shipping channels.
Best for lightweight, urgent replenishment.
Key Factors When Choosing an FBA Shipping Method
Transit Time: Express is fastest, sea freight is slowest (requires advance planning).
Cost: Sea freight < Rail < Air freight < Express.
Customs Compliance: DDP is best for sellers without import licenses; DDU suits qualified importers.
Amazon Requirements: Packaging and labeling must meet FBA standards, or goods may be rejected.
Inventory Management: Large shipments go by sea/rail; small replenishments by air/express—avoid stockouts and overstocking.
