China Prep Center for Amazon FBA
Updated 2026-05-21
Answer: Use a China prep center when products need labeling, polybagging, inspection, bundling, carton marking, palletization, or routing control before freight leaves China.
What a China prep center does
A China prep center sits between the factory and Amazon. It can receive goods, inspect counts, apply FNSKU labels, polybag or bundle units, mark cartons, and coordinate freight handoff.
Why prep before export
Fixing prep issues in China is usually cheaper and faster than discovering them at a US prep center, port warehouse, or Amazon receiving dock.
What to send before quoting
Send SKU count, unit packaging requirements, carton dimensions, product photos, Amazon label files, destination plan, and any fragile, battery, or liquid flags.
What still needs human review
- Amazon FBA requirements can change by marketplace and product category.
- Inspection and prep scope must be confirmed before goods arrive at the prep center.
