  "question": "What should China to Canada sellers check about pallet height before shipping to Amazon FBA?",
  "answer": "China to Canada sellers should confirm the wrapped pallet height after final build, keep the load stable for transloading and domestic delivery, and align the final dimensions with the forwarder before the FBA appointment is arranged.",

      "heading": "Measure the finished pallet, not the planned stack",
      "body": "For China to Canada Amazon FBA freight, the real pallet height is the wrapped, final build that reaches the truck and warehouse, not the carton stack estimate from the factory floor. Measure after the pallet base, stretch wrap, edge protection, and top sheet are complete."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Build for transfer points, not only the Amazon dock",
      "body": "China to Canada shipments can pass through origin consolidation, customs release, and local delivery handoff before Amazon receives them. A pallet that only barely survives the first lift can still fail later when it is moved again, so stability matters as much as the nominal height limit."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Keep labels and counts visible after wrapping",
      "body": "Make sure pallet labels, carton counts, and shipment references remain readable after final wrapping. Rework at a Canadian warehouse because a label is buried under wrap is slower and more expensive than fixing visibility before export."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Update the handoff data before delivery is booked",
      "body": "Final pallet dimensions, pallet count, and gross weight should match the packing list, booking note, customs handoff, and the forwarder delivery instruction. If the paperwork says one thing and the delivered pallet shows another, appointment risk increases even when the freight is otherwise acceptable."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Split tall pallets when stability is weak",
      "body": "If one pallet is close to the practical handling limit, split it into shorter stable pallets instead of forcing the tallest possible build. For China to Canada FBA shipments, avoiding damage, refusal, and rebuild cost is usually worth the extra handling line."
    }

  "limitations": [
    "Sellers should verify current Seller Central pallet guidance for the exact Canada shipment workflow.",
    "Carrier, cross-dock, and prep-center handling rules may be stricter than the base Amazon requirement."
