Amazon FBA Pallet Requirements: Documents Needed

Create a pallet evidence index

A pallet handoff needs a traceable description of what was built. Record pallet count, carton count per pallet, gross weights, dimensions and the relevant shipment references. Treat this as an operational packing record rather than a substitute for any commercial or customs documents requested for the shipment.

Link photographs to the final revision

Name photos with the shipment reference and pallet number. Include a full-load view and readable identification images. If the warehouse rebuilds a pallet, replace the release evidence with a new revision and retain the earlier version as history rather than mixing both versions in one approval packet.

Keep label and transport records distinct

Amazon describes separate identification for boxes and pallets. Keep the current label files alongside the carton-to-pallet record, and place the carrier handoff reference in its own field. This helps a receiving query distinguish a missing box from an incorrect pallet reference.

Close the document checklist

Before loading, confirm that the packing lead signed the final count, the seller approved the shipment references and dispatch received the correct destination instructions. After handoff, add any shortage or damage notes. Reference: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/external/G200178470

What still needs human review

Planning workflow only; confirm shipment-specific requirements and current prices with the responsible provider.
