Door to Door Freight China to Germany for Amazon FBA: Requirements Checklist

Checklist: lock both addresses

Confirm the pickup address in China and the actual delivery endpoint in Germany. Specify whether the receiving party is Amazon, a prep facility or another warehouse. Attach the shipment reference and a contact who can resolve access or booking problems at each end.

Checklist: freeze the packing facts

Obtain the final carton count, dimensions, weights and product descriptions. Flag batteries and other cargo that needs specialist review before requesting a firm booking. Require the supplier to report substitutions instead of allowing the booking data to describe an earlier sample order.

Checklist: assign entry and delivery work

Record the customs representative and the information they need; ask them to confirm importer and declaration requirements. Separately name the party arranging the warehouse appointment and providing the delivery references. Door-to-door transport scope should state which of these services is included.

Checklist: approve the handoff packet

Place the accepted quotation, packing list, broker instructions and warehouse references under one version number. Set a cutoff for changes and an exception contact. At completion, collect the clearance records agreed with the broker and the carrier delivery evidence.
