Small Parcel vs Freight China to Germany for Amazon FBA: Requirements Checklist

Checklist: match the cargo facts

Before choosing parcel or freight for Germany, confirm product identity, carton count, individual dimensions and actual gross weights. Flag cargo needing specialist acceptance. Send identical facts to both providers so an apparent service difference does not come from different assumptions.

Checklist: review each packing method

Ask the packing team to assess how cartons will be handled under the proposed service. Do not assume a carton protected inside a pallet load is suitable for separate parcel handling without review. Resolve any repacking work before accepting a delivery schedule or final price.

Checklist: map identifiers to cartons

Confirm the shipment plan and current receiving references, then check the label set for the selected transport workflow. Amazon requires proper box identification independently of pallet identification. Retain a count sheet that connects the physical cartons to the final shipment revision.

Checklist: approve the operational handoff

Name the party responsible for pickup, customs coordination and the German endpoint. Confirm which delivery references the carrier needs and who resolves exceptions. Reference for Amazon identification: 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.
